I think it's fine to omit your middle name if you want to. My husband doesn't have a middle name, and I have one (which I like!) so I had three pieces to my name and he only had two. I don't think it made our invitation look funny or anything.
Is your mom opposed to it because of convention on the invitation, or because she is sad you don't like a name that she gave you? That might be something to consider.

I agree, you dont have to use your middle name just because he is! :)
You absolutely don't have to use your middle name just because your FI does. My stepson has two middle names - I suppose his future bride should invent a second middle name just to make the invitations look balanced? Or maybe he should omit one (that's not happening; he's quite attached to both of them).
It sounds like you've already talked about this with your mom, which is all you really need to do (and which I think you do have to do, given that you have listed them as co-hosts, which I assume means they (along with your FI's parents) are contributing significantly to the cost of the wedding). So I think you can now go ahead and do what you like, which is to not use your middle name.
I don't see this as a big deal. I'm sorry your mom is so insistent. I think you should be able to leave the middle name off if it's that horrendous. Maybe your mom should have thought about that when she gave it to you.
But I suppose she doesn't feel that way about your middle name, though.
I didn't use my FH's middle name because I didn't have one and I wanted it to be even.
I have a suggestion on your wording. Are you also going to include your father?
you can also do your wording like this and my opion is you want your name to stand out vs. having both parents name on top and also having the word and twice between names.
Mr. and Mrs. Bride Parents
request the honor of your presence at the marriage of
Brides name
and
Grooms name
son of Mr. and Mrs. Groom parents
I don't have a middle name. My fiance has a "ethnic" first name and an American name that people only know him by. So we are including both first and middle name for him, but none for me. I think it's fine. None of the guests are going to fuss about the omission of your middle name. :)

My mom divorced and remarried and now she has a different last name from me. I also HATE my middle name. I've hated it ever since I was a child, and probably hated it at birth but I can't remember that far back. I've been waiting my whole life to get married so I could drop that stupid name and never look back at it, and in the meantime I've just been pretending that I don't have a middle name.
Here is the wording we're considering:
Mr. and Mrs. Bride Parents
and
Mr. and Mrs. Groom Parents
request the honor of your presence at the marriage of
Bride First Last
and
Groom First Middle Last
My mom, however, insists that if I use FI's middle name, I must use mine. What do the bees think?
