How do you word wedding invitations if you have divorced parents?

Question

My parents are divorced and my dad's remarried, but my mom's not. They're the ones paying for most of it. How do I word the invitations? Should I include my husband-to-be's parents? They're helping too but not a lot.

If no parents are concerned with having their actual names on the invitation I would go with:

Together with their parents

John and Mary invite....

or

Together with their families...
