I think the first one is correct but it sounds weird to me some times.

eta I'm blind!

couldn't tell the difference .... but I'd go with 'their'

i kind of like the 2nd one but i have no idea which one is correct

I highlighted the difference...

I think I liked #2 - but I thikn I finally agreed upon #1 when I sat with Laura (LA Productions). Now that I'm reviewing the proof, I'm all confused again!!

I think #2 is correct. If #1 said our marriage, then it would be right. JMO.

The first one does not make sense. Together with OUR families.....at THEIR marriage. Whose marriage? The families marriage? Jane and John's marriage? I mean, I get it, but I think it sounds wrong. I've seen the second one in a few places, though I don't completely love that way of saying it either.

how about

Together with our families

that, and your average blind guest wont even notice!!

Thanks Nadine and Kel - I think I'm going to go with my gut and go with #2.

Absolutely true. Don't mix up the 'ours' and 'theirs' in the same invite. Personally, I'd go with the second option above.
