Invites 101: How to Address Wedding Invitations

How to address wedding invitations: guests throwing confetti onto the newlyweds

It’s just a few months until the big day. The bridal party is chosen, the menu selected, and the cake taste-tested. Now is the time to send out the invitations — but how does one address wedding invitations? Don’t worry — this is our forte.

There is a formal way to address wedding invitations, and we’re happy to walk you through it. The questions may already be bubbling up in your own mind: Whose name should you write first? How do you tell single guests whether they’re welcome to bring a plus one? How do you invite a whole family?

All of these questions — and probably a few others — are about to be answered. But before you write the addresses for each person on your guest list, we’ll talk about envelopes. Envelope addressing is trickier than you may think, because there are two if you’re sending paper invites, and what you write on each one is a little different.

After we clear that up — or if you’re sending digital invites — you can hop to the section where we cover how to address wedding invitations and offer examples of what to include. read more…
