Help me with wording please

Here is the low down: 

We are paying for our own wedding. My family is a mix of divorces and marriages, and actually my former step dad (Mom has since remarried) is like my real dad. FI's family is his Mom and deceased father. 

I have no idea what the wording should be on our invite. Like- at all. Any advice?

Perhaps this will help, although it may be too general for you. Our invitations will read "Together with their families, Carol Johnson and Tom Barnes invite you..."

We also used "together with their families" on our invitation. Here's the full wording:

Together with their families

Bride's Full Name
and
Groom's Full Name

request the honor of your presence
at their marriage
Saturday, the fourteenth of January
two thousand twelve
at two o'clock

Church
Address
City, State

How am I so dense on this? 

The together with their families sounds great. Thank you both so much. 

I think I was trying to overanalyze and get a little too creative with this
