Invitation Wording

Forgive me if someone posted this before, but how would address (inner/outer) an invitation to a single mother, her child and guest?

TIA!!! (This is one of my least favorite wedding tasks!

I'm not sure what true etiquette would dictate, but my suggestion would be to write it exactly as follows:

Ms. Jane Smith & Guest
Miss Mary Smith

and on the inside just write:
Jane and Guest
Mary

Are you sure she's bringing a guest?
Is she widowed?
Is the child young? Can you send them their own invite?

Thanks for the reply! I actually have two cases of this. Both moms were never married and both have children under the age of ten. Oh yeah and both are bringing guests. I just wanted to stay as close to the 'rules of etiquette' as I could.

Thanks again!!
