Addressing Your Wedding Invitations

• Double check the names on your guest list before the envelopes are addressed, to be sure they are spelled correctly.

• Invitations are always addressed to both members of a married couple.

• An invitation to an unmarried couple residing at the same address should be addressed with both names on a single line.

• No abbreviations or initials are used when addressing. 

• If children are invited but are not receiving a separate invitation, their names may be written on a line below their parents’ names. 

• The couple should also carefully consider where they want their RSVP’s sent.

• Unless a response card is included, responses and gifts are likely to be sent to the return address on the outer envelope.
