So we plan on MIL and Aunti coming to wedding.

Any special advice to get their tourist visa approved? Aunt has minor children and property, but MIL is widowed although she has property, pension, and good job.

Should they put in their application after fiancee gets here? and we provide them with formal wedding invites?

I would wait, but I wouldn't wait too long. Visitor visas are lightning fast so there's really no hurry. But, if you wait until she gets here and before the wedding, it may look like now that the daughter's made it, the rest of the ladies are making a run for it too!

Truth be told, I'd do a civil union, file for AOS, wait for the GC, and then have the "ceremony" that everyone was invited to. But, things are going pretty well now for tourist visas, so petition away!

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

My suggestion would be for them to be very specific about thier travel plans when they have their interview. We brought my MIL over for a visit last spring. The lady they interviewed before my MIL was asked why she wanted to go to America. Her answer was that her daughter was married to an American and was expecting a baby in a month and she wanted to visit her daughter and help out with the baby. The next question was how long to you plan to stay. The lady said, oh I am not sure, maybe two months, maybe 3 months, I haven't decided. The next thing the C/O said was application denied. My MIL went next. Was asked why she wanted to go then how long she planed to stay. My MIL said she wanted to stay 30 days and planned to go to America on the 3rd of April and come back on the 3rd of May. The next thing the C/O said was "Do you want a one year visa or a two year visa" My MIL has family, propery and a job but I do think the quite specific answer to his question was the key to her approval.
