My parents are not divorced and are the one's hosting the wedding, BUT my FH (Alex) parents have been divorced for years now. His father remarried when he was just a kid and his mom just recently (like 3 years ago) married someone. His mom (Sandra) and his step dad (Tony) are paying for the flowers and the the favors (like $5,500 total) while my parents are paying everything else (like $50,000).
Alex's dad (Julio) lives in Brazil and although they never see each other, him and his family over there will get invites and they will be offended if if Alex's dad's name isn't on it. But since Alex's mom and step dad are helping to pay, they should be on the invite too (although since it's a small amount they are contributing, I wouldn't say they are hosting the party)
Any suggestions on wording?

Re: Help on invitation wording please!
there is something on theknot that gives you the exact wording to use in situations like these...I forget how it goes though. I am sure if you do a search for it, it will pop right up

Re: Help on invitation wording please!
We have all three sets of parents listed on the invitation. My dad & stepmom are paying majority my mom, stepdad and his mom are contributing equally and FH and I are also contributing. I am putting all three sets of parents at the top. Mine will read:
Mr and Mrs. Dad Stepmom Mr and Mrs Mom Stepdad and Mrs. FH's Mom Would be honored to have you share in the joy of the marriage of thier children Stacy and Paul Sunday, the twenty eighth of June two thousand and nine at five o'clock The Royalton Mansion Roslyn, New York
You might prefer:
Mr. and Mrs. Brides Mom would be ......... ........... of the marriage of their children Jane and Mike son of Mr. and Mrs. FH's Mom Mr. and Mrs. FH's Dad
Put his mom first. The printers might also be able to help you with this.
