My fiance and I would like our daughter to announce our wedding on the invitations. I just can't find any examples of how to do this. I can only find examples of children of either the bride or groom but not one of the bride and groom having a child together. Would I just put her first name? Or could I put Miss First Name Middle Name? I figure the last name is covered in my fiance's name on the invite.(?)

Typically only the names of the host(s) and the couple are listed. If your daughter is a child, then she wouldn't be hosting. This is why you are having trouble with wording. Plus, invitations invite, they don't announce. Announcements are sent after the wedding. Perhaps you can send the announcements from your daughter?

Okay - I don't think I asked my question right. On the invitation, I would like our daughter to invite. Something like
Miss First Middle
requests the honour of your presence
at the marriage of her parents
First Middle Last
and
First Middel Last
My fiance and I are paying for the wedding ourselves, so it won't offend the parents that aren't hosting it anyway. I also double checked with my parents and they don't think they should be on the invite since they aren't paying for it.
So is it just completely wrong to have a child host (she is only 3)? Sorry for the confusion. I hope this question makes more sense.

She really can't be the host since she is only a young child. It would be best to use the example of you two inviting your guests. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
