Need wording help

Hi Ladies,

I need help figuring out how to word my invitations. My dad is paying for 40% of the wedding, my ex-step-mom is paying for 40% and my mom and step-dad are paying 10%. They all want to be listed on the invitation. What do you think of:

Mr. Bride's Dad, Mr. & Mrs. Brides' mom and Ms. Bride's step-mom
request the honor of your presence

I'm not sure of the order. Do I do it alphabeticallly?

TIA!

    I would do it as listed above
    Dad
    Mom
    Step mom


    who's paying the other 10%?

    If you're insistent upon naming everyone then it doesn't read like a benefactor list.

    Your mother would be listed first, your step mother listed under her and your father under them.

    Mr. and Mrs. Brides's Mom
    Ms. Bride's Step Mom
    Mr. Bride's Father

    request the honour of your presence / pleasure of your company

    oops, meant that mom and step-dad are paying 20%, not 10%.

    Thanks for your help!

    I would just say together with their families. You don't have to individually list everyone who is contributing to the wedding. The word families covers everyone.
