Invite Wording help

Hi Ladies,

Please help me with the wording for my invites. I haven't been able to find the correct verbiage.

I am paying for almost all of the wedding. MY FH is picking up Limos and anything small that he can and my dad will contribute the florist's costs.

Oh and my parents are divorced (never remarried). How do I go about with the wording? do I intro with my parents names? do I include them after my name?

Help!:

We didn't include parent's names. Ours say something like....

Two lives, two hearts
Joined together in friendship
United forever in love
It is with great joy that we
Kristina
&
Anthony
request the honour of your presence
as we exchange our marriage vows..................

FH and I opted for this wording:
'With joyful hearts we request the pleasure of your company at the marriage uniting MAW and MPB....'

We felt that since we were footing the bill for the whole thing, then the invite should come from us.

I've also seen this wording:
'MAW and MPB along with their families invite you...'
