Wedding Invitations Wording

Can anyone help with wedding invitation wording? (UK)?
We have no clue where to start with the wording of our wedding invitations. We are paying for the wedding ourselves, and I was told the invite should begin with who paid for the wedding, is that true? And if so, how do the bride and groom word it properly for example Miss Jane Doe and Mr John Smith invite you to the wedding of Miss Jane Doe and Mr John Smith that doesnt sound right. Also where do we put date, time, venue etc. and if evening receptio is at the same venue as the service, how do we word that? any help, tips etc would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance :)

Advice on wedding invitation wording?
My fiance and I are hosting our own wedding. It will be in a church (with reception at another location to follow.) I would love to be able to include both our parents name in the invitation (even if they aren't contributing anything monetary wise.) Any suggestions? Oh, and another thing... we were planning to have the guests RSVP online... should that be on a separate insert in the invitation? Thanks! If our parents are listed first... "Mr. and Mrs. Blah blah" and "Mr and Mrs. Blah blah" request your presence for the marriage of blah (My fiance and me...) Does that make it seem like they are hosting or paying for the wedding? Just wondering. Ok... EXCELLENT ADVICE, guys! Thanks. One more thing... how would you kind of word it if the groom's dad is deceased? together with their parents, the late Mr. blah blah and Mrs. blah blah? (but that sounds like both of them are deceased!) would you put Mrs. Blah and the late Mr. Blah? Or is there another term you would use instead of "late?" Thanks again.

Wedding invitation wording and etiquette?
Ok, so I'm a bit confused and need some help. I'm doing up my wedding invitations and understand that when you send out an invitation to a couple, the woman's name appears first (on the invitation). So what happens if the invitee is your brother, who is unmarried, but has a long-term girlfriend? Does her name still have to come first? And then what if your brother is married, do you have to put his wife's name first? That seems a bit rude, doesn't it? Putting her first when he is your blood relative? Any answers, suggestions, thoughts would be welcomed. Thanks in advance.
