Wording confusion

in Wedding Invitations & Paper
I'm trying to figure out how to word the invitations when it comes to listing parents.  We both come from divorced families.  My father and stepmother (they share the same last name) are the only ones contributing to the wedding, however I want to include my mother and her partner (they have different last names) as well.  I've been reading through different sites and etiquette guides, but it just further confuses me.  Does anyone else have the same situation?  How did you word your invites?

    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    I suggest you do as Addie has described and write "together with their parents" or something similar.  My mother (who is a lesbian) has a partner, I have a father with a stepmother, my fiance has a single mother, and also a father with a stepmother.  It's also a question of how much space you want the 'parent text' to take up on this document.  I consider the design and layout to be too cluttered with all the names listed individually.  I also consider it unnecessary.  the names of important people will be (let's assume?) on your wedding website, in the program, and possibly part of the toasts/speeches, yes?

    We have exactly the same situation with our parents! And I'm definitely leaning toward Addie's suggestion.  Thanks for the suggestions!
