invitation wording

Heres the scenario....My Dad is paying for the wedding but would you think it would be odd to include 'together with their parents' on the invitation?

I want to include all of the parents b/c FH's parents gave him $$ to buy a condo (which WE will be living in)...that we normally wouldn't have been able to afford. So even though they didn't give money towards the wedding, they certainly have helped out financially in other ways.

What do you think?

Re: invitation wording

I think that is a great idea!!!!! I can also say that my brother got married two years ago and only put her parents (who paid for the wedding with him) on the invite. My parents did the rehearsal dinner and gave a gift afterwards. My mom was a little bent out of shape, and to be honest, I thought it was kinda weird. They gave birth to him, why not mention him.

Re: invitation wording

I think 'together with their parents' is really nice. Even when one family pays, it's still nice to mention both. My parents are paying for the entire thing and did not want his parents sharing top billing, so we put:
Mr. and Mrs. My parents
invite you to the wedding
of their daugther
Me
to
FH
son of
Mr. and Mrs. His parents
