Appropriate wording for invitations?

sjayer

Hi! My first post, whoo!

Anyhow, here's the scenario - my parents and his mom - his father is deceased - are giving us the same amount of money toward the wedding (and both are being very, very generous). What would be the proper wording the invitations? She will be remarried by the time we get married (our wedding is Sept. 2011 and hers is May 2011).

Thanks!
