Can you provide some examples of how to write a wedding invitation that includes "together with their families"?

Here are a few ways to write an invitation that includes "together with their families". Choose the one that feels right for you.

Example one, traditional: "Together with their families, Sarah and James request the pleasure of your company at their wedding on Saturday, the fourteenth of June, at three o'clock in the afternoon at The Old Barn, Surrey."

Example two, slightly shorter: "Together with their families, James and Sarah invite you to celebrate their marriage on Saturday, the fourteenth of June at three thirty in the afternoon."

Example three, if one partner's name comes first or you want a warmer tone: "Together with their families, Sarah and James would love you to join them as they exchange vows on Saturday, the fourteenth of June."

You can also put the families' names in, if you wish. For example: "Together with the families of Sarah and James, we invite you to their wedding..." But that can get long, so most couples just say "together with their families".

Remember that this wording works for any couple, whether they are a bride and groom, two brides or two grooms. It is inclusive and clear. You can also use it if parents are helping to pay, but you want the invitation to come from both of you.
