Nothing is "wrong" with it. It's formal/presentational. In fact, it sounds completely normal to me in that context.
In fact, Google reveals a few more similar uses:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22We+request+the+honor+of+your+presence+at+the+wedding+of+our+daughter%22
(More variants are found without quotes.)
What in particular seems wrong, if you have a specific question?
