Invite wording question

DyanderikDyanderik
in Wedding Invitations & Paper
My fiance and I are getting ready to order invites, but I have a couple questions with regards to wording that I could use some advice on.  First, my fiance and I are paying for our wedding, but we still want to use the wording that implies the parents are 'hosting'.  His parents are still married; mine are divorced but still share the same last name.  What's the best way to phrase this? Fred and Nancy Jones and Mr. and Mrs. John Smith invite...etc?
Next question - we're not giving our guests a meal option at the wedding, choosing rather to go with a dual plate (steak and crab cake).  Where is it appropriate on the invite or reception card to ask guests if they have a shellfish allergy?
Thanks everyone!

    We worded our invites:

    brides name 
    &
    grooms name

    together with their parents
    mother of bride name
    and parents of groom names
    etc etc etc

    On our RSVP card, we were going to add an allergy/dietary restriction line (we are also just serving 1 meal), but then the place i ordered them from said we would get a lot of "I don't like ___" and "I am on ____ diet" so we just put an RSVP section on our wedding website and told people to contact us with any food allergies. 

    On the RSVP card, under the accepts/regrets lines, you could do another line that says:

    _______ Shellfish allergy

    Then they just put an x on the line & you don't have to worry about getting nonsense back.

    Do not do a line that says __shellfish allergy.

    If you really want to, have a line that says 
    "Please list any dietary restrictions, particularly those related to shellfish
    ______________"
