Wedding Invitations & Paper

How to word the invitations

My fiance and I are paying for the wedding ourselves and I was going to just list our names on the invite - but both my parents are traditional and I spoke to my Mom and I think she would be offended if I don't list my parent's names. I am reading that "who is hosting" is not necessarily who is on the invite these days. I think they would appreciate the respect.  But, my parent's are divorced and remarried.  Now as I put the invite together, I have a pretty formal invitation that does not really match our casual wedding style.  Any thoughts?
