invitation wording

my friend from work asked me this question and i told her I would ask the professionals

She is doing her invitiation wording and her parents are together but her FH's parents recently are seperated. They are not divorced but do not live together. They are all contributing in various ways to the wedding. How should they write their invitations?

TIA for your help

Erin says thanks

Is your friend and her FH also paying for the wedding? Because then they could write what's below to avoid mentioning any parents names if they are not sure what to do.

'Together with their families...' is what i was going to suggest. That's what I did because everyone is contributing something and FH's parents are divorced and both remarried and when i did a proof with all the parents names, it just looked too crowded. So this way, everyone is covered.

yes they are contributing as well. Problem is that she really wants her parents names on there. His parents are fine with being paired together but she thinks its weird. Thanks for your suggestions girls.
