"Requests" because that's the propper conjugation of the verb for third subject. If it was her and her husband, it would be request.
For the people above...are you kidding me?? The S is not for the amount of people or for plural. Did you ever go to school????
WOW
I'm speecheless.

Neither - it should be "requests" with no apostrophe. It would be "request" if there is another person listed beside your mom's name: ie: "bob and sally smith request..."

It should be requests. But I would have said Mrs Anita I. Robinson invites you to join in the celebration of marriage of (your name) and ( his name). RSVP Please.

"requests the honour of your presence"

Thank you Blunt. I was seriously shocked that people knew what it should be, but they were way off on WHY it should be. People really should refresh their brains when it comes to grammar.

"requests" - plural (so the verb and the noun agree), but not with an apostrophe (because it doesnt show possession).
Good luck!
