Invitation Wording

fpaemp2011

We're having an evening church wedding and dinner reception (not casual, but not black-tie).  I've googled invitation wording, but can't seem to find a definite answer.  My parents are hosting, so which is correct?

John and Jane Smith request the honor...
Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith
or
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

I think that you should include "Mr. and Mrs." but I would say that whether you include just your dad's name or both is probably up to what you think is best.  I know that some women do not like to be called "Mrs. John Smith".  Since it is not a casual affair, I would definitely recommend that you use the "Mr. and Mrs.".

Thanks!  That's what I was thinking.  Mom just wanted me to double check.  She thought Mr. and Mrs. with both of their names was too much, but I thought it was correct.

Coming into the conversation a little late, but I agree that it should be Mr. and Mrs.
My parents are pretty traditional, so my invitations said

Mr. and Mrs. John A. Smith
invite you to share in their joy
at the marriage of their daughter

I would go with Mr. & Mrs. John Smith- but I am traditional about things
