Mo, I think that j_nicolle's recent post may help.
My parents are divorced and so are Smarty's parents. This is what we've decided to go with, and ran it by all of the parents for safe measure:
Mrs. Crafty's Mom
Mr. Crafty's Dad
invite you to share in the joy
at the marriage of their daughter
Craftypants
to
Smartypants
son of
Mrs. Smarty's Mom
Mr. Smarty's Dad
I've read that if the parents are divorced, the mother is listed before the father and on a separate line. This applies to whether she has remarried or not. If you are including your stepfather, it would read just as you wrote (Mr. and Mrs. SnowStepdad, on the first line).
Good luck! :o)
I don't know about the first part, but on the last part.....
usually people use 'request your presents' or 'request the honour of your presents', 'invite you to join us'
Those seem to be the most common ones. I used the second one. Hope its some help!
You can also google 'wedding invitation wording' then you can select a site that have free samples of wedding invitation wording.

Because my folks are divorced...I am choosing to take the easy way out in terms of choosing the order of names. I just started the invite as
Together with thier familes...and then
jone doe and jane doe invite you to........

Hello ladies-
I need your help with invitation wording. It's kind of a mess and the helpful people at The Knot et all aren't really being all that helpful. I knew the bees would know though.
My fiance's and my parents are hosting the event equally, however, my parents are split so there are three sets of parents that need to be included on the invites. We are putting all three sets, I just don't know who should go first.
What I assume it might be would be:
Mr. And Mrs. SnowStepdad
Mr. SnowDad
and Mrs. and Mr. fianceDad
cordially blah blah blah...
is that how it should go? My mom, then my dad, then his parents, or are there other ways? And is it Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so or Mrs. and Mr. So-and-so?
Also: what wording are you using for the "invite you" part? What do you recommend?
Thanks!
