Will this or has this caused drama with the good old MIL?

I keep going back and forth with this. My parents are paying for the hall, we are paying for everything else and MIL is paying 0. Do you think it will cause drama if the invites mention my parents and not FH's. Like 'Mr. and Mrs. so and so request the honor of your presence to the wedding of their daughter to....' ?? Do you think I should keep the invite neutral and not mention parents? part of me feels like my parents should get a little acknowledgement on the invites but you know how MIL can be!

I discussed this with my mom, since my parents are paying for the reception and Fh's parents aren't really paying for anything.

My mom said that she feels both parents should be mentioned, why does everyone need to know who paid? So, even though my parents helped ALOT, we're putting both parent's names.

I kept it really simple.

TOGETHER WITH THEIR PARENTS .....
MY NAME
FH NAME
and all the other info

I am in a similar situation although FIL's are paying for small things like DJ and such. My parents are paying for the reception. So i am doing this..

Mr and Mrs so and so
request the honor of your presence for the marraige of their daughter
so and so
to
So and so
Son of Mr and Mrs. So and so

Thereofre their names are on it, but people know who's hosting the party...and they can't get offended

This is what I want to do, but FILs are paying for my band, which is a few thousand dollars ... part of me feels that they should have a bigger billing than just the above ... i don't know if they will care or even know the rules in this situation ... my mom has made it very clear that their names will be at the top, no one elses though so I guess that's that ...
