    technically, it's not correct to use the "and ten." It's grammatically correct to say, "two thousand ten."

    I like it worded better as: Together with their parents Bride and Groom rather then Bride and Groom together with their parents.

    I agree with PP - together with their parents Bride and Groom sounds better.

    If your reception is in a different location than your ceremony then you shouldn't mention it on the invite.  Include a separate reception card in the envelope with all of the reception info.

    Thanks for the suggestions ladies.  I agree, I like Together with their parents bride and groom however, how our invitation is laid out we have to have our names first.  And we love our invitiatons.  We are open to other wording suggestions.

    Thanks!

    I put our names first, and together with our parents after (and listed their names) because we wanted to include/honor them, but we are really hosting the wedding ourselves.  Top = hosts.  Below that = info or assistant hosts. 

    I'd drop the "and", because I prefer "two thousand ten".

    And I'd change "Reception following Ceremony" to "Reception Immediately Following".

    I'd also try to put a blank line between the time and the location.  I find that it generally looks better and is more readable that way. 

    And, off topic, but I love the Biltmore.
