Hi y'all, first time posting here.
Original wedding date 5.21.2020 (darn COVID-19)New Date 10.22.2020 (🍾🎉)
I have sent our re save the date cards. Help on the wedding invitation wording. My mom passed away & I only have my Dad. How would you suggest I work the verbiage?
And my fiancé parents are divorce. I need help with that too.
Appreciate all input. Thank you! ❣️

Our invitations just have the bride and groom’s name. We left the parent names off. We are an ‘older’ couple compared to most and are covering the expenses of our wedding.

Most wedding invites these days don't mention the parents since couples host and pay expenses themselves. If you want them anyway, say 'Together with their families, Bride and Groom request the honor of your presence...".

I see, thanks. We are covering all our expenses as well. My father, however, did buy my dress.

We also used “together with their families” since FH’s parents are divorced, and I didn’t want our invitations to feel awkward!

My parents are divorced, too. My dad and stepmom helped host, but my mom did not.
This was tricky for us, because my mother is toxic.
In the end, we went with something like this:
"Dad's name and Stepmom's name" invite you to "my name" marriage to "FIL and MIL's DH's name".
...Full disclosure, my mother took offense to this, threw a fit, and that entire side of the family didn't come, and, according to the Gen Z of my family, they are all still throwing a fit. (The kids and I agree that this is... um... rather excessive.)
But, like the theatre, if you don't put up money, your name doesn't go on the invite.
