Wording Invitations When Marrying an Ex

My ex-husband and I reunited about a year ago. While we were divorced, I never changed back to my maiden name. We are getting married next August and we're having a wedding and reception.

How do I word my wedding invitations?

Dear Vertue,

You would word these just like all others where the couple is hosting, with your name first and his second. Your guests should know who you are and that he isn't currently your husband. So, there really shouldn't be any confusion.

Best wishes,
