You should word it like Jane Marie Doe and John Allen Doe along with their parents............(names) invite you to attend.....I have seen hundreds of invites but I found that rule a long time back. It will still look okay. Hope this helps!

Congratulations! I just got married 4 months ago and went though something similar. I was very picky about my wording because of my detailed involvement. I went to a stationary store and looked through the books and wrote down what i liked(i also searched through invites online) I discussed them with my fiancee and then decided. we decided to annonunce us as male and female invite you to share instead of the parents inviting. i think you should do the same. the reception is a major part but there are many more pasrts that you are taking care of. I included a heartfely thankyou to the parents on my program and that seemed to go over very well. hope i helped. good luck

Same as a standard invite. Nobody needs to know who's paying for what. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson cordially invite you to the wedding of..
Jane Smith
and
John Johnson
Blah blah blah. Reception to follow.

My husband and I paid for most of the wedding ourselves too. However, we went with a more traditonal version of the invitation because my folks did help too and it was important to me (as a Christian) that my father (or the priest of my home at the time) gave me away to my husband (who became the priest of my new home). This is what my invitations said.
Our daughter, Mandy Marie, will be married to Archie Paul Martin on Saturday, the eighth of July, two thousand and six at two o’clock in the afternoon. Their vows will be spoken at The Rock Church, Seagoville, Texas.
We invite you to worship with us, witness their vows and be our guest at the dessert buffet reception which follows in the Church Gymnasium.
If you are unable to attend, we ask your presence in thought and prayer.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Giles

My fiancee and I are in the same situation. We went to the websites of a bunch of invitation companies, they have a lot of great suggestions.
Congratulations on your up-coming wedding!
