Are you getting married in a church? Outside? Interfaith? (There's a reason why I ask).

ETA: The above post reflects why I asked.

Re: which do you like better..

First one.

ETA: We used the word uniting and we're interfaith. No one has said anything

But maybe it's the reason none of them are showing up?

Re: which do you like better..

Technically, it's supposed to say 'request the pleasure of your company' when it's not being held in a place of worship.

If you don't like that, I'd suggest using 'request the honour of your presence as we are joined in marriage.' If parents are hosting: '...as they are joined in marriage.'

ETA: 'United in...' is not appropriate for an invitation when one spouse is Jewish.
