Every family is unique and it can be appropriate to either list or omit stepparents. We recommend discussing the issue with your family to see what will work best for all parties.  Below are a variety of examples depending on who you decide to include.
We typically recommend using 'and' or 'along with' between the parents' names for readability. This also gives flexibility for non-traditional invitation layouts. Listing each name on its own line with no adjoining word is also an option.  Rule of thumb...ladies frist!

Amie is incredible! Time and time again we've used her (Save the Dates, invites, and change the dates!). We will go back to her for our new invites, thank yous etc. I cannot recommend her enough, she is efficient, sweet, and does the most beautiful work. Would give her a 15/10 if I could. - Elizabeth

Oh my goodness! Amie makes the most beautiful invites! I am a huge paper snob and she is the very best at what she does! She made these amazing invited for my daughter's baby shower. They are beyond perfect and better than expected! I will never use anyone else again! Love, love love them! Thanks Amie! - Sherry
