How do you word a wedding invitation for a joint wedding?

A joint wedding invitation should make it clear that two couples are marrying at the same ceremony. Start with a joint hosting line, such as 'Together with their families' or 'With joy, the families of both couples invite you'. Then name both couples, for example 'Anna and Ben, and Chloe and Dan'. You can also write 'Anna and Ben, together with Chloe and Dan, request the pleasure of your company at their joint wedding ceremony'. Include the date, time and venue for the ceremony, and then a separate line for the reception. If the two couples have different surnames or are from different families, list them in a balanced way, perhaps alphabetically or by order of ceremony. You may want to add a note that the ceremony is a double wedding, so guests know to celebrate both couples. If the couples are hosting together, say 'Together with their families' and list all parents' names if you wish. Keep the wording simple and joyful, and make sure both couples approve the final wording.
