Including names of children on wedding invitations

I am getting remarried in March. My fiance and I have six children; mine are 11 (girl), 13 and 15 (boys). He has three girls 8, 11, and 18. How do I word the invitation? Putting all the children's names on the invitation would be too long. I was thinking of ordering online but since we are only having 50-60 guests, most online ordering requires a minimum. I was also thinking of printing myself. Any suggestions would be helpful. Incidentally, we all live together and there have been times where it can be rough. My fiance has full custody of his girls. I do however spend quality time with my own children as well as his girls.

Nancy -

The invitation does not need to include the children's names unless they are hosting the event. You could simply say, bride's name and groom's name, together with their children...

Please review our page on wording second wedding invitations for more help.

If you want to print your own invitations I would suggest buying the DIY wedding invitation kit from Ebay. Make sure you have a good laser printer. Otherwise, there is a list of discount wedding invitation providers here.

Good luck and enjoy the new family.
