Re: appropriate wording-help!
since they are divorced I think you should put you mothers maiden name .. like linda smith and john doe and his parents name request the honor
or
linda smith along with john doe
and his parents ...

Jane and John Smith makes is sound like they are married. Your mother has kept your father's last name?
I would try 'Together with their families' or some version of it for this one, because it may get confusing...

I think in that case you would put John Smith and Jane Smith, rather than John and Jane Smith.
