How to include mom on invitation

in Wedding Invitations & Paper
My parents are divorced, and they are both remarried. My dad is paying for 95% of my wedding and just happens to be remarried to the queen of etiquette. My mom is helping me plan virtually everything, but she's not in a position that she can help financially due to recent loss of job and foreclosure. I have no idea how to word my invitation. I know that my dad and stepmom should be the hosts, but it will kill my mom if I leave her completely off. Is there a way to order the names on the invitation that will give my dad credit for paying for the wedding, but my mom credit for being my mom?

    Not totally traditional, but can work in blended family situations in which the parents want to be listed by name....... A wedding invitation really isnt the place to show who paid for what and how much.

    Talk with your dad to see what he thinks about this.  Since he is paying 95% of the wedding, it should be left up for him to decide if your mom's name should go on the invite.  I would ask your dad how he likes this for the invitation:

    Mr and Mrs Lacey's Dad with Stepmom
    Ms. Lacey's Mom
    Request the Pleasure of your company
    at the marriage of their daughter

    Lacey Middle Name
    to
    Lacey's FI's Full Name

    Date, Place, Time
