Need suggestions w/ Invitation Wording

I looked up what is the appropriate way to word the invitations.  From what I got, you basically word the invite according to who is paying (hosting) the wedding.  There are a whole bunch of examples, but I can't find an example anywhere online for this: the bride and groom are paying along with some help from the bride's parents.  There is one where the bride's parents are paying, one where the bride and groom are paying, and one where both sets of parents are chipping in with the bride and groom.  I don't want to say Bride and Groom along with their parents.... because my fiance's parents aren't contributing a dime, and up until yesterday, one of them didn't even know if she could come due issues with her exhusband (fiance's father).I'm sure there has to be other couples who have been paying for the wedding while only the bride's parents helped with some costs.  How do you suggest to word things?Thanks.

    I saw some online the other day it was something like Mr and Mrs *Myspacelove238* parents and Myspacelove238 and Fi .... By putting their names shows their honoring you or helping you out... I dont know if that made any sense. I look up the site :-)

    Something Like this............Miss June Moore and Mr Ward Cleaver, together with her parents Mr and Mrs George Moore, cordially invite you to their wedding on blah, blah, etc.

    This is my situation as well but since my parents are paying for the reception and we're picking up the rest (which pretty much is a 50/50 split) we're going to word it in a traditional way, with my parents as the hosts.  Are you having someone do your invites?  I'd ask them for advice.  GL!

    Even though FI and I are paying for about 2/3 of the weddin gourselves (with both sets of parents paying for the rest), we worded our invites traditionally, with both sets of parents inviting the guests to our wedding.  We are both super close to our families and we wanted to respect them and everything they have done (not just financially).  I think you could easily list it as coming from your parents if you don't mind that it looks like they are hosting.  For us, we didn't care that we are contributing more--I don't think most guests think about things like that--they just want to come and have a good time! GL!

    We did "together with their families, Natalie *** and Daniel *** request the honor of your presence...."  Because we received money from other members of our family besides our parents.  I have also seen "Together with her parents...."
