Typically the outer envelope is for the guest’s full address and formal title while the inner envelope is less formal, listing all persons invited. If you’re including an inner and outer envelope (either out of tradition or to protect your beautiful envelope liner), guest addressing can be a bit confusing. This includes married couples with and without the same last name, un-married couples, families, and children (more on that later). It seems obvious, but the best way to signify who is invited is to correctly address your invitations and list each adult by name. Hate your handwriting? Hire a calligrapher or enlist the help of a friend! Digitally printing guest addresses can sometimes be appropriate when it matches the style of the invitation (typically a design that already relies on modern typography) or if you are in a serious time crunch, but please NEVER use adhesive mailing labels. Writing out your guest’s addresses by hand is a personal touch for your invitations that sets a warm, inviting tone for the event. Whose name is listed first? How do you handle non-traditional couples? Should you spell out the state or keep it abbreviated? There are so many different opinions on the best way to address envelopes and truthfully there is no “wrong” answer but we’ve gathered our Top 10 Envelope Addressing Tips to help ease the stress of using “proper etiquette” guide you through the process. Gathering your guest list and addressing your wedding invitations according to the “rules” can be a daunting task.
