Here's what I have for the invitation:

Together with their families

Bride (First Middle Last)

and

Groom (First Middle Last)

request the pleasure of your company

at their wedding

Saturday, the twenty-seventh of July

two thousand thirteen

at six o'clock in the evening

Venue Name

100 Street Name

City, State

Reception to follow

A couple other nitpicky questions...

1. I'm having our return address printed on the outer envelope. We don't put any name there, right? 

2. Does the state get spelled out on the outer envelope?

3. Should I put just my name on the response card envelope or both of our names? (We live together). And should it be my "real" name, or the name I go by? (Ie, if my name was Jennifer, do I put that or Jen?)

TIA!

Wording looks good, except:

Just put six o'clock (no need for "at" nor "in the evening" as no one will mistake this for six in the morning)

1. Correct. No name on your return address. Just the address itself with the state spelled out.

2. Yes, the state gets spelled out (on all addresses; invitations, return addresses, response cards, thank you notes). As do streets, avenues, boulevards, etc. No abbreviations.

3. You should put, Your last name / His last name Wedding, on your response card envelopes. This will eliminate the second part of your question about your name vs. your nick name. It also deems the fact that you live together, or not, irrelevant. So it should look like this...

Example:

Jones / Smith Wedding

1023 Main Street

Los Angeles, California 90032

Invites are ordered! I'm so nervous because I didn't get a second opinion (other than my FI's, but he was just yessing me at that point), but I can't wait to get them.

BTW thank you again for proofing the wording. I had a 15 minute orgument with my mom because she insisted they should say, "Bride and Groom, together with their parents, request the pleasure of your company..." She didn't want to hear that that is imporoper AND just grammatically wrong. Thankfully I was able to stand my ground knowing you ladies approved of the way I worded it.
