What is the wording for invitations if the parents are hosting?

Invitations 101: Hosted by Parents

If your wedding is being hosted by (read: mostly paid for by) the parents of the bride or groom, the invitation format reads as follows:

Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jones
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Amy Lynn
to
Gary Raphael Gray
Monday, the fifteenth of June
at eleven o'clock
Galbreath Chapel
Athens, Ohio

If you want to include the names of both sets of parents, the wording would be

Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jones
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Amy Lynn
to
Gary Raphael Gray
son of
Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Gray
Monday, the fifteenth of June
at eleven o'clock
Galbreath Chapel
Athens, Ohio

If both sets of parents are hosting, the wording is as follows:

Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jones
and
Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Gray
request the honor of your presence
the marriage of their children
Amy Lynn
and
Gary Raphael
Monday, the fifteenth of June
at eleven o'clock
Galbreath Chapel
Athens, Ohio
