\"How<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a few months until the <\/span>big day<\/span>. The bridal party is chosen, the menu selected, and the cake taste-tested. Now is the time to send out the invitations \u2014 but how does one <\/span>address wedding invitations<\/span>? Don\u2019t worry \u2014 this is our forte.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a formal way to <\/span>address wedding invitations<\/span>, and we\u2019re 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 <\/span>single guests<\/span> whether they\u2019re welcome to bring a <\/span>plus one<\/span>? How do you invite a whole family?<\/span><\/p>\n

All of these questions \u2014 and probably a few others \u2014 are about to be answered. But before you write the addresses for each person on your <\/span>guest list<\/span>, we\u2019ll talk about envelopes. <\/span>Envelope addressing<\/span> is trickier than you may think, because there are two if you\u2019re sending paper invites, and what you write on each one is a little different.<\/span><\/p>\n

After we clear that up \u2014 or if you\u2019re sending digital invites \u2014 you can hop to the section where we cover how to <\/span>address wedding invitations<\/span> and offer examples of what to include.<\/span><\/p>\n

Invitation Etiquette: <\/b>Addressing Wedding Invitation Envelopes<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"How

Design: Jen Montgomery<\/p><\/div>\n

When sending out <\/span>wedding invitations<\/span>, unless you\u2019re sending one virtually, there are two envelopes: an <\/span>inner envelope<\/span> and an <\/span>outer envelope<\/span>. If you do choose to send<\/span> digital invitations<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (and save plenty of paper in the process!), we\u2019ll address that further down in this post.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/b>Outer Envelope<\/b> for Mailing\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>outer envelope<\/span> is where you print a guest\u2019s physical address. This is the envelope handled by your mail courier. You\u2019ll type (or hand write, if you\u2019re feeling ambitious) your <\/span>guests\u2019 names<\/span> on the first line, complete with proper titles, first names, and last names (middle names are optional). While you can abbreviate a title, you should spell out first names.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, write the physical address of your guests\u2019 home or <\/span>post office<\/span> box. Again, use full words here (no <\/span>abbreviations<\/span>) writing <\/span>Street<\/span> instead of St., Road instead of Rd., and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/b>Inner Envelope<\/b> for Inviting\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Within the <\/span>inner envelope<\/span>, your guests will find the invitation suite. Each guest invited to the wedding will have their names printed on this envelope. Except this time, you just need to print titles and last names.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take note: This is your opportunity to be very specific about who is invited to your wedding. If you are welcoming <\/span>plus ones<\/span>, you will allude to that here (more on this below). If you\u2019re inviting two people, both their names should be printed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that you have the envelopes sorted out, it\u2019s time to address your invitations. But how does one do this? Below, you\u2019ll learn exactly how to address each envelope, depending on your <\/span>guests\u2019 names<\/span>, titles, and relationships to one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital Invites With One Envelope<\/b><\/h3>\n

Finally, what happens if your <\/span>wedding invitations<\/span> only have one envelope? With online invitations from Greenvelope, you\u2019ll skip the <\/span>post office<\/span> line and conveniently send your<\/span> wedding invitations<\/a><\/strong> directly to your guests\u2019 inboxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There will only be one envelope, so you\u2019ll typically use the \u201c<\/span>outer envelope<\/span>\u201d standards, with two exceptions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be sure to list every <\/span>guest\u2019s name<\/span>, including children and those who live in different households.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Include \u201cAnd Guest\u201d on the envelope for those who are allowed to bring a <\/span>plus one<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to <\/b>Address Wedding Invitations<\/b>: Examples<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Looking for examples before you address and<\/span> write your wedding invitations<\/a><\/strong>? Here, you\u2019ll find several options for how to <\/span>address wedding invitations<\/span>, all guided by proper <\/span>wedding etiquette rules<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    In addition to these tips on addressing the envelope, be sure to include the correct <\/span>mailing address<\/span> and your <\/span>return address<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. How to Address a <\/b>Wedding Invite<\/b> to a <\/b>Married Couple<\/b> With the Same Last Name<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \"How

    Design: TM Stationery<\/p><\/div>\n

    For <\/span>married couples<\/span> with the same last name, you have a few options.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Heterosexual Couples\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

    The traditional approach for <\/span>formal invitations<\/span> is to write both the husband and wife\u2019s titles on the <\/span>outer envelope<\/span>, in addition to the <\/span>husband\u2019s name<\/span> (first and last). On the <\/span>inner envelope<\/span>, you\u2019ll write just the couple\u2019s title and collective last name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    With heterosexual couples, it\u2019s customary for the male\u2019s name to be written first. This is just a tradition, and we encourage you to address envelopes in whichever way you see fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you take this approach, your envelopes will look like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Portz<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. and Mrs. Portz<\/span><\/p>\n

    Some women appreciate their <\/span>full names<\/span> being printed. If you anticipate your guest wishing to be addressed this way, print the <\/span>woman\u2019s name<\/span> alongside her husband\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. Thomas Portz and Mrs. Karen Portz<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. and Mrs. Portz<\/span><\/p>\n

    (You could also simply write \u201cThomas and Karen,\u201d \u201c<\/span>Mr. & Mrs<\/span>. Portz,\u201d or their <\/span>nicknames<\/span> if you\u2019d prefer a more casual tone.)<\/span><\/p>\n

    Same-Sex Couples<\/b><\/h4>\n

    With <\/span>same-sex couples<\/span>, you can write their names in <\/span>alphabetical order<\/span>, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mrs. Kira Gonzalez-Strong and Mrs. Sarah Gonzalez-Strong<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mrs. and Mrs. Gonzalez-Strong (or Kira and Sarah)<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. How to Address a <\/b>Wedding Invite<\/b> to <\/b>Married Couple<\/b> With <\/b>Different Last Names<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \"How

    Design: Robinson Creative House<\/p><\/div>\n

    If you have guests who are married but share <\/span>different last names<\/span>, there\u2019s a bit of discrepancy as to whose name should be written first. Some believe that ladies go first (the opposite of the above scenario). Others state that you should write them in <\/span>alphabetical order<\/span>, while still others believe the guest you\u2019re closest to should be written first.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Since there are so many rules, we say choose whatever you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

    An example of this scenario would be:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mrs. Cristina Anderson and Mr. Ben McCartney<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mrs. Anderson and Mr. McCartney (or Cristina and Ben)<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. How to Address a <\/b>Wedding Invite<\/b> to <\/b>Unmarried Couples<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \"How

    Design: Stellax Creative<\/p><\/div>\n

    If a couple is not married, it\u2019s customary to write their names on two <\/span>separate lines<\/span>. For an <\/span>unmarried couple<\/span> living together, you will write their names in <\/span>alphabetical order<\/span>. For example, you\u2019ll write:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Miss (or Ms.) Stephanie Belitz<\/span><\/p>\n

    Miss (or Ms.) Katie Foster<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Miss (or Ms.) Belitz<\/span><\/p>\n

    Miss (or Ms.) Foster<\/span><\/p>\n

    On the other hand, if the couple does not live together, you will send the invitation to the guest you\u2019re closest to. Their name will be the only one listed on the <\/span>outer envelope<\/span>. So this scenario will look like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Miss (or Ms.) Megan Peterman<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Miss (or Ms.) Peterman<\/span><\/p>\n

    Mr. Jacobsen<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. How to Address a <\/b>Wedding Invite<\/b> to <\/b>Single Guests<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \"Rare

    Design: Ana Sharpe Design<\/p><\/div>\n

    If your guests are single, you will write their <\/span>full name<\/span> and title on the <\/span>outer envelope<\/span>. If you are welcoming a <\/span>plus one<\/span>, you will write their name with \u201cand Guest\u201d on the <\/span>inner envelope<\/span>. It would look like:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. Ari Black<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. Black (and Guest)<\/span><\/p>\n

    If your guest is a formerly <\/span>married woman<\/span>, her title will change depending on whether she returned to her <\/span>maiden name<\/span>. If she kept her <\/span>married name<\/span>, you would address her as \u201cMrs. Carole McCarthy.\u201d However, if she returned to her <\/span>maiden name<\/span>, you would write, \u201cMiss Carole Perrin.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    5. How to Address a <\/b>Wedding Invite<\/b> to a Family<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \"Dried

    Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n

    When addressing your <\/span>wedding invite<\/span> to a family, you include only the name of the parents or guardians on the <\/span>outer envelope<\/span>. On the <\/span>inner envelope<\/span>, you\u2019ll list the name of each child on the same line underneath the parent\u2019s or guardian\u2019s names. Use a title like Miss for young ladies under 18 years old, but only use the title \u201cMr.\u201d for young men who are 16 years of age or older.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. and Mrs. Garren Thompson<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. and Mrs. Garren Thompson<\/span><\/p>\n

    Miss Cecilia, Mx Coco, Miss <\/span>Jane<\/span>, and Daniel<\/span><\/p>\n

    Per <\/span>etiquette rules<\/span>, if you don\u2019t list the <\/span>children\u2019s names<\/span>, then they are not invited and it is an adults-only invite. This can be confusing to many guests so it\u2019s a good idea to include this information on your <\/span>RSVP<\/span> card and wedding website as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re having a big wedding with a \u201cthe more the merrier\u201d vibe, you may want to invite guests to bring along their entire family. Here\u2019s how you can do that:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. John Smith<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. John Smith<\/span> and <\/span>family members<\/span><\/p>\n

    Just note, you may get more than you bargained for with this approach and it will be harder to get a final headcount or stay within budget. However, for more casual gatherings like a<\/span>\u00a0boho reception<\/strong><\/span><\/a> where food won\u2019t be served, this can be a fun way to include everyone without breaking the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

    6. How to Address a <\/b>Wedding Invite<\/b> to Children Over 18<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \"Abstract

    Design: See That There<\/p><\/div>\n

    If children are invited to your wedding, you will simply write each of the <\/span>children\u2019s names<\/span> (first only) underneath their <\/span>parents\u2019 names<\/span>, from oldest to youngest. If, however, the child is over the age of 18 (even if they still live with their parents), they should receive their <\/span>own invitation<\/span>. To include the entire family on an invite, you would write:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. and Mrs. Chris Thompson<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Mr. and Mrs. Thompson<\/span><\/p>\n

    Mr. Nathan, Mr. James, and Bella<\/span><\/p>\n

    7. How to Address a <\/b>Wedding Invite<\/b> to People With Professional Titles\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \"Pastoral

    Design: Holly Whitcomb<\/p><\/div>\n

    If one of your guests is a doctor, judge, pastor, or military personnel, their respective invitation<\/span> should reflect their distinguished titles<\/a><\/strong> and <\/span>honorifics<\/span>. If each guest within a couple has a title, and the two combined names and titles don\u2019t fit on one line, it is customary to indent the second line. Some examples include:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Dr. Abby and Mr. Tom Baker<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Dr. Baker and Mr. Baker<\/span><\/p>\n

    You could also use a format like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Outer envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Captain Juliana Frye<\/span><\/p>\n

    Lieutenant Steven Bryant<\/span><\/p>\n

    Inner envelope<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Captain Frye<\/span><\/p>\n

    Lieutenant Bryant<\/span><\/p>\n
