A question just about every bride asks is, What is the proper addressing wedding invitation etiquette? The answer starts with another question. Is the wedding to be a formal or informal wedding? With an informal wedding it is ok to use just the one exterior envelope. However, if it will be a formal affair, the use of an inside envelope as well.

For example the invitation to your grandparents - the outer envelope would read Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, and the inner envelope Grandpa John and Grandma Jane or even Gramps and Granny if that verse is what you call them. Also you can use the inner envelope to let a friend know that her boyfriend is invited: Miss Sarah Smith and friend. Avoid using and family if possible. You don’t want a neighbor to show up with 12 people. If you are inviting the neighbors and their three children use this form: Mr. and Mrs. Neighbor and then add the children’s names from oldest to youngest. The envelope would read like this text: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sutton If you don’t want the children at the wedding address the envelope to: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sutton. When a guest has a professional title such as a doctor, judge or military officer, the interior envelope, like the outer one, would list the title like: Captain and Mrs. Smith. If both husband and wife have a title use this form: Doctor William Curry and Doctor Jennifer Curry. A wife who has a professional title and the husband does not, the wife’s name goes first: The Honorable Catherine Morris and Mr. James Morris. Members of the clergy and college professors are handled the same as other professionals.Adult children age 18 or over should each receive their own invitation.
