While it might seem like a simple task at first, many couples feel lost when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/the-best-wedding-invitation-sites-for-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">preparing<\/a> and addressing invitations for their various guests. We\u2019ve rounded up the information you need to know to streamline this process, including how to address your wedding invitations in a way that honors common etiquette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-essential-tips\"><strong>Essential tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use &#8220;Mx&#8221; for gender-neutral titles.<\/li><li>The outer envelope lists the guests\u2019 names and mailing addresses.<\/li><li>The inner envelope lists who in the household is invited to the wedding and whether a single guest is allowed to bring a plus one.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-married-couples\"><strong>Addressing married couples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When addressing a wedding invitation to a married couple, put both of their names on the same line. It\u2019s customary to list the name of the person you know best first. If you\u2019re close with both people, list their names in alphabetical order. Be sure to look into whether either guest still uses their maiden name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the outer envelope, include the couple\u2019s first and last names. You\u2019ll do this the same way for same-sex couples and heterosexual couples. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>John Williams and Davis Miller<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mr. John Williams and Mr. Davis Miller<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the couple has the same last name\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>John and Davis Williams<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mr. and Mr. John Williams<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the inner envelope, include the first names or only the titles and surnames. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>John and Davis<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mr. Williams and Mr. Miller<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the couple has the same last name\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mr. and Mr. Williams<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-unmarried-couples\"><strong>Addressing unmarried couples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When addressing a wedding invitation to an unmarried couple that lives together, list their names on separate lines on the envelope. The person you know best will go first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the outer envelope, include the couple\u2019s first and last names. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ms. Cecily Garcia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mr. Noah Smith<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cecily Garcia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Noah Smith<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the inner envelope, include the first names or only the titles and surnames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cecily<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Noah<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ms. Garcia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mr. Smith<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-plus-ones\"><strong>Addressing plus ones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re allowing guests to bring a plus one, only include the name of the primary guest on the outer envelope. On the inner envelope, include the name of the primary guest and the phrase \u201cand Guest.&#8221; For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Logan Perez<\/em> (outer envelope)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Logan Perez and Guest<\/em> (inner envelope)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-children-s-names\"><strong>Addressing children&#8217;s names<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, children\u2019s names are listed only on the inner envelope of their parent\u2019s invitation. The title for a girl is \u201cMiss,\u201d and there is no official title for a boy. If the child is gender-neutral, use \u201cMx.\u201d If you don&#8217;t list the children&#8217;s names, the implication is that children are not invited to the wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the outer envelope, write the family name or only the parents\u2019 names. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Moores<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mrs. and Mr. Moore<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the inner envelope, write the parents\u2019 names first, followed by their children\u2019s names. All family members go on the same line. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Jennifer, William, Mx. Sam and Miss Bailey<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-children-18-and-older\"><strong>Addressing children 18 and older<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children of guests who are over 18 and don\u2019t live with their parents should receive a separate invitation. You can choose to use titles or leave them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the outer envelope, include their full name. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mx. Mason Hernandez<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mason Hernandez<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the inner envelope, include their last name and title or only their first name. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mx. Hernandez<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mason<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-professional-titles\"><strong>Addressing professional titles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When addressing a wedding invitation to someone like a doctor, it\u2019s customary to use their professional title. You can use the doctor&#8217;s abbreviation or spell out the full title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the outer envelope, include the doctor\u2019s name and the name of their spouse, if applicable. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Laura Reed and Mr. Patrick Thomas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If both guests are doctors, you\u2019d write\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Doctors Laura Reed and Patrick Thomas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the inner envelope, only use the titles and surnames. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Reed and Mr. Thomas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When both guests are doctors, the invitation will read\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Doctors Reed and Thomas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-distinguished-titles\"><strong>Addressing distinguished titles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Military personnel, judges, reverends, and those with other distinguished titles should have their titles mentioned on the wedding invitation. You can spell out the full title, or use an abbreviation like \u201cLt. Col.\u201d, \u201cMaj.\u201d, or \u201cCapt.\u201d for those in the military, \u201cHon.\u201d for judges, and \u201cRev.\u201d for reverends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the outer envelope, include the full titles and names. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Honorable Oliver Holmes and General Martin Fisher, US Army<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a reverend, you\u2019d write\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reverend Sally Lucas and James Lopez<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they\u2019re both Reverends\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reverends Lucas and Lopez<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-rsvp-response-cards\"><strong>Addressing RSVP response cards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last piece of addressing your wedding invitations is adding the return address for the RSVP response card. This card should be addressed to the person who is handling the guest list, which is often who&#8217;s hosting the wedding. It\u2019s ideal to have the address printed on the wedding invitation envelope for the response card and include postage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-addressing-invitations-for-a-casual-wedding\"><strong>Addressing invitations for a casual wedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re having a casual wedding, it\u2019s certainly your choice to skip formalities like titles and surnames. Note that if you have older guests expecting formalities, they may be thrown off by a wedding invitation that only includes their first names. Ultimately, though, remember it\u2019s <em>your<\/em> wedding, and you get to choose how you address the invitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-tips\"><strong>Additional tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Before you start addressing your wedding invitations, get organized by going through your guest list and ensuring you have the correct titles and surnames for everyone.<\/li><li>Avoid using guest nicknames on formal invitations.<\/li><li>Make your invitations extra special by handwriting them in calligraphy.
