Are the groom’s parents that vain that they need everyone to “understand” that they are footing the bill? If so then put his name 1st-if not then I say lady’s 1st it’s just more “gentlemanly”. Maybe a nice toast to the groom’s parents at the reception to say “Thanks”-only as long as it is done in a way not to hurt/offend the bride’s parents. I always say it’s better to have someone else toot your horn than go around doing it yourself-otherwise you seem self-centered/vain/full of yourself/etc. Hopefully the future in-laws aren’t really that way?! Good luck to you!
The exact same way.

You’d just put the Groom’s parents first as they are paying for it but still put the Brides name first. Just make separate sentences instead of Mr and Mrs invite you to celebrate the marriage of their daughter Name, just put they invite you. Bride and Groom are getting married here, now.
Maybe you should not write anything new at all. After all, the celebration is for the couple, not the parents. Put the bride’s parents first, just like tradition.
The groom’s parents wanted and they payed for the whole thing, that does not mean that everyone should knowledge it and treat himself as the groom’s parents’ guest. It is just mean.
doesn’t matter who’s paying for it…mention both sets of parents out of respect for both sides. or don’t include the parents names at all that way no one feels bad or left out- use you guys names
Together with their parents

When the groom’s parents give the wedding, it’s typically worded:
Mr. and Mrs. James Smith
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of
Miss Jane Doe
to
their son
John Smith
OR you could include both sets of parents and just put the groom’s parents first on the invitation:
Mr. and Mrs. James Smith
and
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of
Miss Jane Doe
and
Mr. John Smith
Hope that gives you some ideas!
I would say
Mr. and Mrs. Groom’s parents and
Mr and Mrs. Bride’s parents invite you to the wedding of… groom and bride…
OR
Don’t mention parent’s name – it IS your wedding (the two of you) – so it’s irrelevant who pays for it…
Bride and Groom invite you to celebrate our wedding…

I am in a similar situation and what I have found is that even when the groom’s parents are hosting, the bride should always be given the respect of being mentioned first. Check out the answers I got to a similar question I posted on here a couple of days ago: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
Just fyi – there are millions of books and websites that explain these sort of things. I am serious, there are whole chapters about how to address invitations alone. Just go, find a wedding book and you’ll have everything you need at your finger tips.
just word it like the traditional way replacing the bride and groom and just put in the brides parents at the end as a type of consultation that they were involved in the planning but did not pay for everything
You can write it like this:
Mr. and Mrs. William Smith
request the honor of your presence
in the marriage uniting their son
