Also do they keep the wording formal, ie Mr & Mrs Smith, given that they have never met them?

I was worried my in-laws to be would be offended, ie of course we would be attending little Joe's wedding... no need to send an invite!

Yep.
If your parents are paying for the wedding, they cover the invitations for all guests.
I'm assuming your fiances family would love an invitation as a great keepsake of your special day.
You do want t make it formal, not because they haven't met, but because it is just proper and a formal event.

OUCH!!! Your parents don't want to invite their future son's OWN PARENTS??? I'm hoping they did something horrible and that your fiance is ok with the disrespect being shown to his family.
But yes properly addressed wedding invites have on the outer envelope Mr & Mrs Smith and on the inner envelope John & Jane Smith. Just like your aunts and uncles may have on the inner envelope Aunt Jane and Uncle John, but the outer would still be formally addressed with Dr, Rev, Mr, or Miss.

You should definitely send them invites out of courtesy. Perhaps they would like to create a keepsake gift for you (my cousin created a beautiful end table with the invite suspended in glass for his sister's wedding). I would use formal wording on EVERY invite, family or not. And truthfully, you typically purchase wedding invites in increments of 100 plus, so a few extras to family aren't that big of deal. Congrats!

Well, I was in charge of everything at my wedding, basicly. And I still sent invitations to EVERYONE. My dad, who lived accross town from me, his parents who he lived with, my grandparents who I lived with.
And even with the people that I knew, I kept it formal. With my dad I put "Mr."
But I just liked the formalness of the occation anyways.

Yes. Etiquette says to send invitation to the in laws, bridal party, and your own family.

Yes send an invite(s).
All invites should be addressed formally.

usually the invitation will say something like: Mr and Mrs invites you to the wedding of their daughter and Mr. blabla... on this date , at location and hour.
something like this...
don't you feel that is not fair that the parents of the bride have to pay for everything???? I will never let my parents do that.. I pay for my own staff!

Yes, and keep it formal. If everyone is addressed the same no one will feel left out. People talk!

Yes, if you want to start out on the right foot with your in-laws.

ABSOLUTELY! If for no other reason than to have as a keepsake.
