Invitation question

I've gotten the final proof before printing back from my invitation designer and the only concern that I have is that we didn't list the address of the church or reception venue on the invitation. It currently reads Church Name, City as well as Reception Venue Name, City.

We did list our wedding website on the invitation and it has the physical address as well as directions.

What does E say? Do I need to add the street name and number?

    Yeah, you do.  I kinda went through the same thing.  Most of our wedding guests were local and would know exactly where our chapel was, but a good portion of our guest list were from out of town.  You just never know.  You can't always assume people will know where things are.  Plus, it's one extra line.

    I would. Espically if you have any older guests that aren't tech savvy. <div>

    You don't have to, especially if the church is a prominent one in the city or if the reception venue is well known. But out of town guests might appreciate having the address right there.

    We didn't.  Almost all of our guests were OOT, and only person had a hard time finding it.  But she was just being lazy, IMO.  There was no reason for her to not be able to look, or ask me ahead of time (I would have gladly told her).  Instead she chose to text me ONE HOUR BEFORE THE CEREMONY.  I ended up getting 5 texts from her asking who was coming, etc, and I think she just honestly had no concept of how ridiculous she was being. 

    So I don't think it's a big deal, personally.

    ETA:  "lazy" isnt' a good word.  She didn't plan ahead at all.  That's more reasonable.

    I have seen invitations that only list the name and city, state so it is not uncommon. If you are very worried about it then i would include the address. But, yeah, if you are asking what etiquette says then number address is not required. Most very "formal" invitations I have seen only list the city and state. That being said, I am still planning on listing the address because I know there are some guests who will just not go through the trouble of looking on the computer! Also there are a few venues with similar names in my area and I don't want them to just type the name into google and then go to the wrong one!
