That phrase is close, but not quite there. Instead, try "The honor of thy presence is requested at table #10". So, you are just one word off. In the way that you phrased it, you are referring to honor as if the person you are inviting posesses it; you call it "thine honour," which is the same way you would say it if you were saying something like "Thine honour has been ruined." Instead, you want to say that it would be an honor to have them come to the event, and to sit at the designated table. Their presence at the dinner is an honor. So, you need to refer to it as "the honor of your presence," in order to indicate that their presence at your event honors you.
I hope that those thoughts help; good luck!
