Another invitation wording question!

[Deleted User]

My FI and I are paying for most of the wedding ourselves, with a little help from my mom.  His mom has adamantly refused to help at all with the cost, even after a request for a loan from my FI.  I want to word the invitation so ppl understand that my mom was really the only one that helped, but not incur the wrath of MIL for years to come.  Is this possible?? Or do I just suck it up and say something like "Together with their parents"?

Neither of our parents contributed, yet we still went with:

Mr and Mrs John and Jane Smith
request the honour of your presence
at the nuptial mass uniting their daughter
Me
to
DH
on...

...my parents hosted and the invites indicated as such.

Technically, the wording on the invitations is supposed to indicate who is hosting the wedding.  Hosting is separate than paying for the wedding.  Although many people interpret the names on the invitation to inidcate who is paying for the wedding, that's technically not correct.

For example, if you were paying for the wedding yourself, but it was a backyard wedding at your parents' house, they would still be the hosts even if they hadn't spent any money.
