Etiquette says that typically the invite is being sent from the people paying the bill. So, it would be from the groom's parents. If you are concerned, have a family meeting and discuss it with all parties involved.

The invitation is usually in the name of the host.
However, the wording depends on where the wedding is taking place, and the level of formality. For example, if the wedding takes place in a house of worship the wording would include, Mr. Groom's Father requests the honour of your presence. If the ceremony takes place in a reception hall or park, a less formal, the pleasure of your company, wording is used.

Actually, contrary to what they say in the first few comments - there is a correct and an incorrect way to word an invitation based on who is paying.According to proper ettiquette, the person paying for the majority of the event is considered the host - and the invitation should be worded as if coming from the host. But generally, the bride's name comes first beforethe grooms. In this case:
Mr. & Mrs Joe Burns
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of
Miss Amanda Jane
daughter of Mr & Mrs Bill Jane
to their son
Mr Tony Burns

i could ask your fiance to reassess the wording you have listed. that's the time-honored format on your project. consistent with danger he in basic terms would not understand that and if he sees it on sufficient etiquette web pages, he will substitute his strategies. in basic terms google "wedding ceremony invitation wording" and he will see it quite is the main huge-unfold answer. in any different case, i could propose in basic terms: the respect of your presence / is asked on the marriage of / jane a. doe / and / john b. smith / and so on. interior the marriage application, each and all the mothers and fathers names would be listed. thank you could be expressed at this gadget (for all to work out) to the bride's mothers and fathers for their counsel in information superhighway hosting. a particular memorial section could be revealed for the groom's previous due father, which could be a greater significant tribute than can greater wholesome on an invite besides.

It is no ones business who is paying for the wedding. You can always during your speech to your guests announce a special thank you to your guests. It would be tacky in my opinion to point out on the invites who is "paying for everything." It's almost like saying this person is paying for everything while the Bride's parent's are paying for nothing which again is no ones business on the invitation. Doesn't make a difference. The day is about you and you Husband to be. Not his Father. Please be sure thought o acknowledge him during your speech. Maybe even call him up to the stage or wherever you and you Fiance speak and maybe have a special gift made for him that you and your Fiance can give to him in private. I suggest an engraved bracelet or watch to let him know how much you appreciate everything he is doing!
Good Luck!

The wording of the invitation has nothing to do with who is paying for the wedding.
You would just word it as you wish.

The guest really don't care who has paid for the wedding. I know I've personally never cared. My dad paid for everything & my invtes say "Together with their parents..." then list our names. The wording of the invites is up to you & what you like.

What difference does it make that the groom's father is paying? You put all the parents names on the invite.
