OT - help me phrase this invitation

[lunalibre]

I'm at a loss for how to phrase an invitation to an open house I'm hosting for all the folks DH and I work with. Everything seems awkward! We work with married folks with and without kids, singles who aren't dating, singles who have boyfriends/girlfriends, couples who are committed but not married, gay couples...well, y'all get the idea. I need to phrase my invitation to make it clear that all are welcome -- not just the coworkers, but their entire...households? I don't want to have to write out the list I just wrote above! This is a "the more the merrier" kind of gathering.

If I say "spouses/partners/children welcome", that seems to imply that the single folks can't bring an invited guest. If I say "spouses/partners/boyfriends/girlfriends/children", well, that just seems awkward.

Help!!!

Thanks.

I believe in KISSing it...

Date, time, place...

"All in your home are welcome in ours!" I think that gets the message across

How about "Come one, come all! Hope you and yours can join us for a holiday open house on Saturday..."
