Is it okay to...

Just list the father of the bride as the host for the wedding invite (as he is paying majority of the wedding and is divorced from mother of bride who is not paying anything), but include a separate invite card with a RD invitation (with FI parents listed as hosts since they are paying for RD only)?

Hope that made sense.

    I went to a wedding with the invitation worded similarly, with two extra invites one for the RD and one for a brunch. (Bride and Groom moved to California from the east coast last year and so 90% of the guests were traveling so they had something everyday for the guests)  The RD listed the Groom's Mother and New husband as hosts and the Brunch listed the bride's parents and the invite had just the Groom's Father who paid for the wedding.  I thought it was nice to honor the father.

    Yeah the idea is to honor the bride's father, who offered to pay, without slighting the mother of the bride (who didn't offer $ and really doesn't care if she's on the invite). 

    Regarding FI parents, not sure if they would mind as long as they are listed as hosts of the RD.  But I agree, they should probably be consulted.  Thanks for the feedback!
