How to include Father of the Groom?

My Fiance's birth father is not really part of the picture, even though we'd like him to be. His step-father has been there for him since he was 5 and is very close with him. Because he is not the birth father but is still footing a 1/3 of the bill we would like to incorporate him into the wedding to say that we truly appreciate and love him, any ideas where he can go?
Yes 'JIM' that was the point i was trying to make but we want to ask him to do a little something more than giving him the honor of sitting in front, we want him to not only feel as if he is the father, but also a little more special because he is not actually the father (thus pointing out, thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty)
 
It's nice you want to do something special for him. Let's see make sure he has a boutonniere, put a special thank you to him in the program(if your having one), have a special dance with him at the reception.... that's all i can think of good luck.
 
I'd say the step dad is the "REAL FATHER" and should be treated like one.invite the birth donor,but let him set in back.
