Addressing Your Invitations


The rules for addressing invitations are the same regardless of which invitation style you've chosen.

Married Couples: Always address invitations to both members of a married couple.

Unmarried Couple Who Lives Together: Address the invitation to both, each name on a separate line.

Do not use abbreviations or initials when addressing envelopes. If children are invited, write their names on a line below the parents' names. For formal events, you should include a smaller inner envelope (left unsealed) and an RSVP card.
