Deceased Parent

My fiance's biological father is deceased and his mother is remarried, my parents were never married and neither are remarried (I share my fathers last name), we want to include both of our sets of parents on the invitation and don't know how to word it?

Go to Plan/Order Invitations and Announcements in EZWeddingPlanner, click on the light bulb on the right. That has lots of advice and sample wordings. Here are also a few suggestions:

Mary Johnson and John Martin
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Susan Nicole Martin
to
Craig Joseph Anderson
son of
Mrs. Mark Smith
and Mr. Mike Anderson (deceased)
on date, etc...
Ms. Mary Johnson and Mr. John Martin
together with
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Smith
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of
Susan Nicole Martin
and
Craig Joseph Anderson
son of
Mrs. Smith and the late Mr. Mike Anderson
on date, etc....
Ms. Mary Johnson and Mr. John Martin
and
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Smith
invite you to share in the joy of
the marriage uniting their children
Susan Nicole Martin
and
Craig Joseph Anderson
son of
the late Mr. Mike Anderson
on date, etc...
or a religious version which doesn't list all the parents:
Desiring God's will for their lives
and believing that includes each other
Susan Nicole Martin
and
Craig Joseph Anderson
together with their parents
invite you to share their joy
as they are united in marriage
on date, etc.
Susan Nicole Martin
and
Craig Joseph Anderson
together with their parents
Ms. Mary Johnson and Mr. John Martin
and
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Smith
(and the late Mike Anderson)
request the honour of your presence
at their marriage
on....
