The wording sort of sounds like an announcement more than an invitation in the last paragraph but if it works for you, then go for it!
We haven't finalized our wording, but both of our fathers have passed away. We'll probably do something like "Together with our mothers, bethesdabride & MrBethesda request the honor..." We'll have our parents, both late fathers and mothers listed by name in the program.
Your approach would be fine, I'm sure. It does read a little bit like a wedding announcement rather than an invite, but people will know its an invite, so it's not something to stress over I wouldnt think.
Maybe something like this would make it sound less like an announcement and more like an invitation:
Miss Smith
daughter of Sue Smith and the late Bill Smith
and
Mr. Jones
son of Bob Jones and Mary Brady
request the honour of your presence at their marriage.
date, time, place, etc
Yep, I like FutureKMM's idea! I saw that on a couple websites too.
I was going to do what future KMM suggested but then our names wouldn't be together which you see on most invitations that is why I changed it. Thanks for all the help everyone! For some reason this is giving me the most grief about my wedding!
Could you start with "together with their parents,brides parents and groom's parents," then go to "bride and groom request..."?
We had a similar issue, my FI's father is deceased, but my parents are hosting. We did
"brides parents request the honor of your presence at the marriage of
bride and
groom
son of mother, stepfather and the late father"
My MOH got married last year and her father is deceased her invitations said,
Mrs.Mother of the Bride, and Mr.Father of the bride in spirit,
request the honour of your presence
at the wedding of their daughter
Bride's Name
to
Groom's Name
Son of Mr. Father of the Groom and Mrs. Father of the Groom
I thought that was a really nice way of handling it.
Wow, these are some great ideas....I was just dealing with this myself since my father passed away 6 years ago. I really wanted to include him in my wedding invites as it seems strange not to.

My fiance and I are paying for our wedding but we would like to include our parents on the invite. His parents are divorced and my father is deceased but I really want to include this on the invite. Is it wrong to put something like:
Miss Smith
and
Mr. Jones
request the honour of your presence at their marriage.
Miss smith is the daughter of Sue Smith and the late Bill Smith. Mr. Jones is the sone of Bob Jones and Mary Brady.
Then include the date, time , place etc? Please help!
