One of the set of parents normally write them, not you. What they should say is
Mr & Mrs xxxxx invite you to the wedding between their son .... and his fiancee.......
The wedding to be held at .........
On Saturday the ...... of .......
Reception to be held at .......
We look forward to your attendance
RSVP
If it is the brides parents writing it, then it will be the wedding of our daughter...... and her fiance ........
Hope this helps
