Invite Wording

Help! I have to decide by tomorrow how my invites will be worded. I am stuck!
My parents are together. His are divorced and his dad is remarried. They are all contributing to our wedding costs in some way. I would say that the parents are contributing about 25% of the cost. FH and I are paying 75%. How do I word the invite? Can I just put something along the lines of
Together With Their Parents....or do i have to put their names?
and if I do have to put their names, do I have to put his dad's new wife's name? (we are not close with her at all...they've been married about 6 years and my FI calls her his dad's wife, NOT his stepmother)
we don't want to offend/upset anyone, but we also don't want a very 'wordy' invite.
any suggestions??????

My cousin was in similar situation and just put together with their parents...

I think that will be fine. You don't need to mention their name not because you don't respect them but you can have other alternative to respect your parents such as in the ceremony or ask your parents to dance in the reception or other things.

thank you!

We put:

Bride's Name
and
Groom's Name
Together with their parents
Request the honour of your presence....
