  I would get rid of the "we"  after your names

  We said "Recieve the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony" I don't know if that is correct, but  it doesn't matter too much
  
  
  I did read somewhere that said invites should be read in third person, they..instead of we... I think it would sound better as:
  
  "Together with their Parents
  
                       Bride Name (scroll font, set apart)
                  &   Groom Name (scroll font, set apart)
  
   Request the Honour of Your Presence
  at the Nuptial Mass in which they
  are United in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
  
  Saturday the Twenty-Ninth of August
  Two Thousand Twelve
  Three O'Clock in the Afternoon
  
  Catholic Church
  City, State
  
  
  But, really it doesn't matter, TBH no one else will probably care. At least that is what I think about other invites I get in the mail.

  i would do:
  
  Together with their Parents
  
  Bride Name (scroll font, set apart)
  & Groom Name (scroll font, set apart)
  
  Request the Honour of Your Presence
  at their marriage in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
  and the celebration of the Nuptial Mass
  
  Saturday the Twenty-Ninth of August
  Two Thousand Twelve
  Three O'Clock in the Afternoon
  
  Catholic Church
  City, State
  
  You are still inviting them to the wedding - that is the event.  the mass isnt the event you are inviting them to.  the mass does not unite you, the wedding ceremony does.  the mass is said in your honor.  so the wording above is more technically correct, although as a PP said, no one will probably notice or care.
