Mama and Papa LastName request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Akimbo MiddleName to Groom LastName
My friend noted it was weird that I was referred to by my first and middle names, but he has his first and last name, as if I have no last name. The reason we did this is he has no middle name. Thoughts? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
if he had a middle name, it would be on there. he just doesn't have a middle name, that's all. you wouldn't have to put your last name since your parent's last name is on there. i would keep it like it is. :) unless you put
Actually they way you did it is the traditional way to do it! You usually don't include the bride's last name... just her full name without the last. As for the fiance, totally normal that he doesn't have a middle name, so just keep it as is. My fiance has a middle name but we are doing it your way:
We both have middle names, but I think our invitations look better without them! I'm considering leaving them out altogether - if you think it looks ok with just yours, go for it!
Our invitations say:
Mama and Papa LastName
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter

It's just that, as futuremrsbrown says, one would assume that your last name was the same as your parents, unless it's not.
I would put his first and last name; it seems a little odd to just call him "groom" if everybody else has more than one name listed.
