His parents are helping us pay for the wedding, my parents are not. Also my parents are divorced. How would you word this?
Also Grooms biological Mother is Deceased, he was raised by his step mother so I assume its ok to use her name on the invite?

Specifically the Grooms parents are paying for the reception, we are paying for the ceremony. Should we word their names on the reception card maybe?
My parents will most likely not want to be mentioned on the invite. Its a long story, but im sure my mother would feel it was somehow a snub if I put them on it
 
You have many options. I would recommend it say
Mr. & Mrs. (Grooms Parents) invite you to the wedding of their son (grooms name) and (bride's name), daughter of (your parents). Or just leave off the daughter of part if you're not comfortable mentioning them at all.
 
The names on the invitation are not the people who are paying for the wedding. Its not about glory, its about bringing family together to celebrate love and committment. If the Bride's parents aren't paying, would you really leave their names off of the invitation? Seems like an obvious snub.

My parents are divorced and remarried and we said:

Together with their parents,
Matt and Katie invite you...etc.
 
Hi. To be honest, it's too complicated with blended families listing all the names. It ends of being a sea of names even before you get to the bride and groom! Instead, I would simply go with:

Together with their families
Alexis Sue Smith
and
Thomas Allen Johnson
request the honor of your presence
etc., etc.,
