Invite Wording - Help Needed

tanyamary627

I'm going to start making my invites tomorrow but I'm undecided on my wording.  FI & I are paying for majority of wedding.  My parents are divorced, mom is remarried.  Bio dad is contributing to the wedding, no other parents are, as of now.  I felt that "together with their families" would be the safest & best hosting line.  This is what I have so far:

Together with their families
Tanya Mary Lastname
and
Groomfirst Middle Lastname
request the pleasure of your company at their wedding
Saturday, the first of June
two thousand thirteen
half after five o’clock

Venue
Street Address
City, State

Reception immediately following

Is my grammar correct?  Should there be a comma after "families?" Is there a better way to word the line "request the pleasure of your company at their wedding?" Did I word the reception line correctly?

TIA!!!

First, make sure that your dad knows your plan to include all as hosts. No comma, if you remain with "families". Request the pleasure of your company is for a non-church wedding. Request the honor of your presence is for a church wedding. It is at their marriage instead of wedding. Strange, but correct. Reception to follow implies the reception and wedding are at the same place. If they are not, then leave off that line and have a separate reception card. Eta, go to crane.com and look at the etiquette section.

TY! It is a non-church wedding and the reception is at the same location as the ceremony.  My FI and I are paying for 80% and my dad is giving us xx dollars which is 20% of the wedding cost. My dad doesn't care about the invitation wording. I don't want to only list ourselves & my dad as hosts in case another parent surprises us by offering to contribute.  My FMIL is making treat bags for the guests staying in our hotel block, and FILs are paying for the rehearsal so I'm not sure if this means they are technically hosting as well. I think "together with their families" will be the most ideal.
