  She has it:

  
  

  Dad and Stepmom Last Name Mr. and Mrs. DadFirst LastName....OR Mr. and Mrs. LastName (depending on how they prefer/if they're traditional)

  
  

  Stepdad Last name and Mom last name Ms. MomFirst MomLast and Mr. StepdadFirst StepdadLast

  
  

  The second couple has two different last names, the first one is married. I have thoughts but I'm not 100% on etiquette here! I think you are not supposed to separate the man from his last name? 

  ETA: I can never get over how much I love your siggy gif!! LOL!!

  I didn't use Mr. and Mrs. on the program so I said:
  
  Mom Name
  Dad and New Wife Last Name
  
  In your case, for the second couple I would do
  Mom LastName and StepDad HisLasName (I'd rather put the parent first personally)

  This is the traditional wording for divorces and remarried parents:
  
  Ms. Mary Bridesmother
  Mr. John Bridesfather
  request the pleasure of your company
  at the marriage of their daughter
  Bride's Full Name
  to
  Mr. Groom's Full Name
  
  
  If she wishes to include the step-parents (optional):
  
  Ms. Mary Bridesmother and Mr. James Stepfather
  Mr. and Mrs. John Bridesfather
  request the pleasure of your company
  at the marriage of
  Bride's Full Name
  to
  Mr. Groom's Full Name
