invite wording - divorced parents

my mom is paying the most. can i put her name first?
all of the samples i have seen show the dads name first..
my mom kept her married name so they both have the same last name

TIA

Honestly, the samples you've seen are incorrect.

Your mom's name should go first.

i agree...they shouldnt be listed 'together' and your mom should be first because she is paying for more. i think uve seen it the other way cuz 'typically' the dad is the one who pays more.

My parents are divorced, as well. My father is remarried and mom is not (making invite wording complicated). Both are contributing to the wedding along with FH's parents and ourselves, so we worded the invite, 'Together with their parents...'
