Invitation WORDING

My fiancee and I would like to list both of our parents on the invitations, however, his parents are divorced, but only his dad remarried. My future mother-in-law also kept her married name. WHAT ARE SOME IDEAS ON THE INVITATION WORDING?

I had the same problem with my wedding. We just put it like this

Grooms name and Brides Name
Tgether with their parents
Request .....

But you could do this

Mr. And Mrs. Brides father and Ms. Brides mother
Along with
Mr and mrs grooms parents
Request....

With families being so mixed today, I just found doing the "together with their parents" to be the easy solution.

I`m sorry maybe I didn`t make my request clear enough. I want to list my parents name (Mr. & Mrs. Brides parents), but his father remarried (Mr. & Mrs. Groom`s father). My future mother-in-law kept her married name (Mrs. Groom`s mother), so how would I phrase all of this?? THANKS

I would put something like this:

Mr. And Mrs. Brides Parents
Together with
Mr. And Mrs. Grooms dad and new wife
And
Mrs. Grooms mother(just write out her name and last name)
Request the honour of your presence
At the marriage of their daughter
Katie Marie
To
Brian Scott

Something along those lines. Hope that helps some. If you need some more suggestions please feel free to email me. Have a great day.
