Multiple Sets of Parents

Both my fiance and I have two sets of parents. They both remarried at a young age and have been an important part of our lives. We would like to include all 8 people in the wedding. What do you suggest for invitations, walking down the aisle, dances, etc? At this point, I am thinking of walking down the aisle myself and taking out dances like the father/daughter dance, unless I find something better.

I have the same issue. I'm having FFIL and stepmom walk down the aisle first, followed by FMIL and stepdad, and then my mom and stepdad. My dad will then walk me down the aisle. Not sure what to do with my stepmom yet, I may have her escort my grandmother.
As far as dances, I'm going to do the father/daughter dance. My FH doesn't want to dance with his mom, but if they end up doing it we're going to do it at the same time as the FD dance. I'm not going to any other dances, but will make sure to dance with my stepdad at some point.
On the invitations, we put "Together With Their Families" at the top. That way no one is left out.

Can both your dads walk you down? i went to a friends wedding where she started dancing with her blood father and the last 2 mins of the song her step father stepped in to have his time to dance with her. you both could do that

It's a little different on my side because my dad left at a very young age and my stepdad adopted me. It has been about 5 years since have had them both actively in my life. If my dad walks me down, I don't want my stepdad to feel bad because he was mostly the one that raised me.
