I am getting married this fall and am at a loss for how to word our invitaitons. My father was a widower but has since remarried. He is paying for one third of our wedding and I am paying for the other two thirds. How do I properly and tactfully word this?

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
I would use the following:
Miss Susie Anne Smith
And
Mr. John David Brown
Along with (or together with) Susie's father
Mr. Allan James Smith
Request the honor of your presence
To share in the celebration
Of their marriage...
etc. etc.
OR
Miss Susie Anne Smith
And
Mr. John David Brown
Together with
Mr. and Mrs. Allan James Smith
etc. etc...
The place where you order your invitations should have other potential wordings for the invitations as well. Personally, I like the second one.
Best of luck and love to you...
