Mixed traditions Turkish & American Wedding

My fiance and I and my parents (bride's side) are paying for the wedding. I know it is customary here in the U.S., to list those who are paying for the wedding. How do I word the invitations so that I give proper credit to those paying for the wedding without worrying about the different cultural traditions? My parents and my fiance and I are hosting the wedding and not his parents. The wedding is close to where my parents live and not in the same state where we live.
