My son is getting married in February and having a Nuptial Mass. The couple are using their names at the top of the invitation to invite guest. What is the proper wording to let people know it it a full Mass? Would Mary and John request the honour of your presence at the Nuptial Mass uniting in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony be correct?
 
Yes.

Mary Ann Smith
and
John Roger Jones
request the honour of your presence
at the Nuptial Mass
uniting them in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony

Yes that would be correct. This is the wording I am using on my wedding invitations (we are having a full mass):

Jane Doe
and
John Smith
Request the honour of your presence
at the Nuptial Mass
at which they will be united in the
Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
 
Thank you so much for the information. I was not sure of the correct wording and you put my mind at rest. It was truely appreciated.
 
I just happened to have an invitation on my bulletin board right by my computer from college friends who were married 10 years ago. Theirs says:

The honor
of your presence is requested
at the holy Sacrifice of the
Mass in which
Jill
and
Jack
will be joined
in the
Sacrament of holy Matrimony
On Wednesday the
Twenty-ninth
of December 1999
St. Mary’s Church
