Invitation wording question . . . divorced parents!

I am trying to think of ways to word the invitation

So FH parents are still married, my mom is re-married and my dad is engaged. My dad and his fiance are the only ones contributing financially to the wedding. FH and I are paying for 90% of it ourselves. So here is the question....how would I word the invitation..

I was thinking:

Together with their families

Bride and Groom

Request the Honour of your presence . . .

Yeh that sounds good. Keep it simple. I am in the same situation so I was thinking about

Together with their parents,
Bride's name
and
Groom's name
request the honor of your presence
etc.

I found this yesterday:
but I think you worded it just fine:

When the bride and groom are paying for the wedding themselves, the wording should read:
EITHER
You are cordially invited to celebrate
the wedding of
Anne Catherine Myers
and
Theodore Joseph Johnson
etc.

OR

Together with their parents,
Anne Catherine Myers
and
Theodore Joseph Johnson
request the honor of your presence
etc.

Brides parents are divorced:
either
Issued by the parent who raised her
Ms. Janet Myers
requests the honor of your presence
at the wedding of her daughter
Anne Catherine
etc.

or

Divorced parents are hosting the wedding together
Mr. Christopher Myers
and
Ms. Janet Myers request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Anne Catherine

Divorced parent and new stepparent are hosting the wedding:
Mr. and Mrs. Marc Velez
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of Mrs. Velez's daughter
Anne Catherine Myers
etc.

Child of divorced and remarried parents both hosting the wedding
Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Myers
and
Mr. and Mrs. Marc Velez
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Anne Catherine
etc.

OR

Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Myers
and
Mr. and Mrs. Marc Velez
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of the daughter of Mr. Myers and Mrs. Velez
Anne Catherine
to
etc.
