Invitation wording? Anyone else with divorced parents?

Hello everyone! I'm beginning to work on invitation wording (mine ambient handmade, so need to do it now). I'm working on wording my parents, because they want to be mentioned, but are divorced. My mom is paying for 95% of the bride's portion, and etiquette says that the mother is first. Is this true? What have y'all heard, seen, or plan on doing? {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252 {\fonttbl\f0\fnil\fcharset0 CourierNewPSMT;} {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red51\green51\blue51;\red255\green255\blue255;} \deftab720 \pard\pardeftab720\sl280\partightenfactor0 \f0\fs24 \cf2 \cb3 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0 \outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 Wedding Countdown Ticker}

    My fiance's parents are my parents are still married and we each put our mothers first. It say Brides parents name and then grooms parents names. 

    My dad was married once before and my brother and sister are from his first marriage and when my sister got married it said (Brides mom name) and (brides father's name) and then the same as ours for the grooms parents.
