Invitation Etiquette

I saw on another post that someone was sending an invitation sample to each set of parents to view before ordering. Is this an Etiquette rule I've never heard of?

Also, if the bride and groom are paying for 85% of the wedding, can we word the invite as we wish? I was thinking of using the "Together with their families" because my mother is deceased, my step dad is remarried, and I was raised by my grandparents.

Since his parents are still married, should I put their names on the invite? or just state "together with their families" since there are so many people involved here.

Thanks!

    I've never heard of that being a rule, but having multiple people look at the invite and check for errors before placing a final order is always a good idea! 
    I think if you and your FI both like "together with their families," it seems like a perfect way to word the invite.

    they are just checking to make sure every t is crossed and I is dotted. I like the together with our families. FI and I have some weird family stuff so we probably wont put our families on there

    That was me.  I didn't do it because it's a rule.  I've had issues with my parents and invites already.  My mom threw a fit because I was going to include my stepmother on the invitation.  I figured it was better to let them all see it so if they have concerns we can address them while they can still be resolved.  Or if I made any spelling mistakes or whatever, my mom will probably notice.
