My father is paying for most of my wedding (parents divorced) so I put his name first, then my mom's name on the second line, and his parents' name under his name (as "son of Mr. and Mrs. X"). Technically the parents who pay are hosting, but that doesn't mean you can't honor all parents on your invitations.
Mr. and Mrs. Father's Name
Ms. Mother's name
request the pleasure of your comapany...
is how we did it. Hope that helps!

Here are some ideas. Even though your mom isn't technically hosting, she is still your mother and if you want to include her name, I think you should include it at the top.
Dad and Stepmom Smith
and Mom Jones
invite you to the marriage of their daughter
Lam99
to
Husband Howard
son of Dad and Mom Howard
.....
Or if you use titles, it would be:
Mr. and Mrs. Dad Smith
and Ms. Mom Jones
invite you to the marriage of their daughter
Lam99
to
Husband Howard
son of Mr. and Mrs. Dad Howard
I have a related problem that I could use the hive's advice on. I have read oodles of sample invitations online and cannot find anything that allows for couple + one set of parents hosting (there are all other combinations it seems but this one). My fiance and I are paying for the wedding so I don't really want to do "Mom and Dad invite you to the marriage of thier daughter" but my fiance's parents are out of the picture so it would look odd to do the "daugher of"/"son of" thing. My parents will be crushed if I just do a "together with their parents" kinda thing.
Anyone have a suggestion of how I can include only one set of parents on the invite without being uber-traditional or gramatically incorrect?
a great site i used when writing mine was verseit.com.They have wording for every situation you can think of :) Hope that Helps!

Can someone please help. My dad and stepmother are paying for my very-non-traditional wedding. My stepmother tells me that because they are paying, they are hosting, and therefore my invitations must say "Boy and Girl Last Name invite you to the wedding of their daughter....etc". The thing is that while I have no issue putting their name up top, I dont want to leave my mother or m Fiance's parents off the invite. They are not contributing financially to the wedding. Any recommendations? Esp. for my mother's inclusion? thanks
