Invititation Wording

me & FH are paying for most of the wedding. with help from my parents AND his mother. his parents are divorced. i was going to write
'Together with their parents'..

since my parents are a little old fashioned i kind of hinted it towards my mother & she seemed a little turned off. now my problem is FH mother not only has helped by paying for the DJ & photographer. She has come with me on several vendor appointements. However, FH dad had contributed nothing at all. nothing against the man. we get along fine.. but so far he hasn't helped with anything at all.

I guess question is for FH parents does it matter if her name comes first or not??

For his parents i was thinking of something like this:

Ms. Janet Jones (she still uses her married name)

&

Mr. John Jones

what do you think??? any suggestions ?
