Invitation wording advice (kinda long)

1) Is this ok?  I want it to be clear when the chuppah ceremony is taking place (so no late comers), but not word it wrong so that the on-time people don't come super-early and are bored/hanging out.2) It is a Jewish ceremony, but my side of the family is not Jewish, and I don't want this to be confusing for them.  3) my parents are hosting/paying for the wedding, but is it necessary to acknowledge fiance's parent?4) Fiance's father has passed away, is it ok that I just say his mom's name.  I don't really want to have "son of mr. & mrs. ballandchain" or "son of the late Walter Ballandchain and Mrs. Judy Ballandchain."  THANK YOU in advance!Mr. and Mrs. John Doerequest the honor of your presenceto share in the celebration of the marriage of their daughterCarato Mr. Matthew BallandChainSon of Mrs. Judy BallandChainSaturday, the sixth of MarchTwo thousand and tenat six o'clock in the eveningChuppah at six-thirtyAnyplace HotelAnywhere, NJReception immediately to follow

    I, too, am worried that too many folks will arrive super early, despite whatever time the invitation states - just seems to be how things work these days. What I think we'll do also is have just a few light refreshments to hold them over (nothing big since the reception venue will have the cocktail hour prior to dinner).  Hopefully, that'll work out well. Has anyone else that this (when the ceremony and reception were not in the same place)?
