Invitation Wording with Deceased Mother of Bride

My mom passed away about three years ago and I am getting married this coming June 22nd, 2012. 
I'm really struggling to find a way to word our invitations that still honors my mother.
My dad is not yet remarried, though he is engaged. I don't necessarily want to include his soon to be new wife on the invitation, I'd rather include MY mom. 
My fiances parents are both still together. 
Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts? 
None of the websites I've looked at fit my exact needs:
Brides mother deceased, father of the bride and grooms parents hosting wedding.
Thanks in advanced!!
"They give their hearts to each other unconditionally ...that's what true love really is. It's not this fairy tale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love."

Re: Invitation Wording with Deceased Mother of Bride

  • I'm in the same situation as you.
    This is what my sister did for her invites and this is what I am going to do for mine. It may not be correct etiquette but to me I would rather have my mom on the invite then not have her on it. After all this is your wedding you do what you want. There was no complaints from either side about how the etiquette was wrong.
    Hope this helps you!
