Welcome to EL&U. As of 2018, online or other electronic "grammar checkers" have very limited utility beyond detecting the most obvious errors— even more limited than spell checkers— and the fact that one detects or fails to detect an error should hold no authority. When asking questions such as this, it is helpful to indicate why you think, presumably, son engagement is or is not correct versus son's engagement, lest this question be closed as a proofreading request. I strongly recommend you take the site tour and review the help center for additional guidance.

On a separate note, the sentence does not sound natural to an American English speaker (I cannot speak as to what is acceptable or not in your dialect). If I were writing an invitation, I might word it something like Please join us for our son's engagement party, to share in his happiness together or Join us in celebrating our son's engagement, to share in his happiness together.

@choster I wouldn’t say “share in X together” at all in any kind of English. It sounds very odd to me. My brain can’t quite process it and figure out what precisely it’s supposed to mean.

@JanusBahsJacquet I'd say it's superfluous, but permissible if you want to emphasize that the sharing is to be done with the hosts at the party, not sitting at home thinking kind thoughts about the groom-to-be.

Welcome to EL&U. As of 2018, online or other electronic "grammar checkers" have very limited utility beyond detecting the most obvious errors— even more limited than spell checkers— and the fact that one detects or fails to detect an error should hold no authority. When asking questions such as this, it is helpful to indicate why you think, presumably, son engagement is or is not correct versus son's engagement, lest this question be closed as a proofreading request. I strongly recommend you take the site tour and review the help center for additional guidance.
