Invitation Wording Help

Either of those are great and I would choose based on the formality level of your wedding.

Both are fine. It is a matter of personal preference.

Are you getting married in a church?

"honor of your presence" indicates a ceremony in a house of worship.

"the pleasure of your company": indicates the ceremony is taking place outside a place of worship.

Not to throw a wrench in your plans, but how about "Together with their families...." Bride first middle last and groom first middle last request the honor of your presence (pleasure of your company ) depending on the formality. Edit: typos

Oh, thank you! No, it will not be a religious ceremony. I'll change that, thank you

I suggest:

Mrs. (Bride's Mom)

and

Mrs. (Groom's Mom)

request the pleasure of your company (...)

The main thing is that each mom should be listed on a separate line. If you list them on the same line, it implies they are a married couple, rather than 2 separate individuals. See this link for more info: http://www.brides.com/story/guide-to-wedding-invitation-wording

@Cabo, that's exactly what I said! I loved the way it sounded at first, but there was something slightly off about it. I'll see if I have room to put their names on separate lines.

I have one more question (which I'll also add to my original post): Our ceremony starts at 6:30pm but the venue opens at 6pm for welcome drinks, etc. Which time should I put on the invitation?

ETA: That link is very helpful, thank you.

I don't think there's anything "off" about the wording, but if you don't like it, you can always fall back on "Together with their families"

Start time is hotly debated on this forum, but since you have welcome drinks available, I think it's okay to put 6pm to make sure everyone gets there on time.
