I like this option the best:
Together with the couple
Ms. MOB
Requests the honor of you presence
At the marriage of her daughter
Bride
To
Groom
On this date and that time
It shows that you, your FI and your mom are the ones paying for/hosting the event.
I would leave parents off the invitation and make a special toast to your mom at the rehearsal dinner and reception.
@BoiledPNut: i like your suggestion the best.
i would do something special for your mom outside of the invitation, especially if she says she doesnt want to be on there alone. honor her wish---that can be your first gift. then itd be sweet if you and your husband did a special toast to her; maybe she could walk you down the aisle and get a dance w/you or your husband.
ask her if she's comfortable with this considering she is paying for 60% and her name wouldnt be on the invite. just have it come from you and your husband-to-be.
Thanks everyone! Now, my mom is saying she does want her name on it. UGH, this should be the easy part...

Hey everyone!
My mother has raised me, put me through college, and is now paying for about 60% of the wedding, with my fiancé and I paying the rest. My father has not been actively involved in my life since I was a child, is not giving any help with the wedding (hasn't even met my fiancé who I've been dating for YEARS...probably doesn't even know his name), and although he says he's coming, the reality is that he might not.
I want to honor my mom by putting her name on the invites but she isn't sure if she's comfortable with just her name being on it without my dad's or my fiancé's parents (who are also not contributing). I'm afraid that if I put my dads name on it that he won't show...or on the other hand if I don't and he does come. Everyone knows he's not involved like that so I feel like it would be fake to include him. Help!!
Here are the options I'm considering...
