    If you are hosting and don't want to include your parents names you can say:
    Bride's full name
    and
    Groom's Full name
    Request the Honor
    or your presence
    at the Nuptial Mass
    Uniting them in the Sacrament of Marriage


    or you can say
    Together with their families
    Bride's Full Name
    and
    Groom's Full Name
    Request the Honor
    or your presence
    at the Nuptial Mass
    Uniting them in the Sacrament of Marriage


    Some people say that saying the Nuptial Mass Uniting them in the Sacrament of marriage is not proper that you should say "at the marriage and celebration of the Nuptial Mass" but I think the first way sounds better and is what we used.  We asked our priest about it and he said either way was fine.

    we hosted adn did:

    JLP and PAM request the honor of your presence at their marriage in the sacrament of holy matrimony and the celebration of the nuptial mass

    and MSWood is correct in that the first version isnt technically proper as the mass does not unite you in marriage, the mass is said in your honor.
