I like sample 3, as it's similar to what we did. We also hosted our own wedding, and I didn't want there to be any ambiguity about that.
If the bride and groom are hosting the wedding, there is no reason to include parents' names on the invites. That said, I like #1. However "pleasure of your company" is used for non-church locations and "honour of your presence" (yes the formal British spelling) is used for church venues.
I was in the same situation..we are hosting the entire wedding...but I felt bad not mentioning the families...so ours went...
Brides name and Grooms name
Together with our families
Invite you to share the beginning of our new life together

Looking for some input and votes on these three wording samples for our invitations. We are hosting the entire wedding ourselves and I'm debating on whether or not to include parents' names on the invite or to just list our parents within our programs. I copied the samples so they have fake names and locales.
Your comments needed, hive!
