invite wording help

I know there was a similar post, but FH and I are paying for a majority of the wedding ourselves. His parents are giving us a set amount as a gift, but if we want it in advance to help fund the wedding, we can use it. My parents have graciously offered to pay for my DOW attire, my flowers, and my mom made a few vendor deposits when I booked (she is doing soo much more, like DIY and really helpful)
Our invites say;

Kristy Lynne P********
and
Matthew Nicholas R********

Together with our parents

My mom really thinks the parents names should be included in case people don't realize who we are. We each share the same last name as our parents, so I think that wold be 1 clue...and if they haven't figured it out since receiving the STD, they don't need to come anyway.

IDK how else to add their names after ours without being too wordy. Last names shouldnt be repeated but then it looks dumb just writing 'Kristy Lynne & Matthew Nicholas' and then the reader has to look doen for the last names.

I know what we wrote is totally fine etiquette wise, but if she will be bothered then it's not worth wording it my way!
any suggestions on how to add parent names after ours????
TIA

underneath your name you can write 'daughter of Mr. & Mrs. _______'

and under his you could write 'son of Mr. & Mrs. ___________'

That's what I plan on doing! :)

ETA: I am just doing our first and middle names with that underneath so I don't repeat the last names..

our lives by your friendship and love, we
Jessica L*
and
Matthew Z*
together with our parents
invite you to share
the beginning of our new life together when we exchange marriage vows
on Sunday, the thirteenth of October

etc. lol

I was going to do it old school traditional, but my mom actually said that it wouldn't be us lol

My FSILs invitation was the same as yours except after 'together with their parents' it had their names.
