STD's - Addressing inner and outer envelopes

offthemarket915

Ok ladies, remind me, is this how I should ddress them?  Example:

Outer envelope:

Mr and Mrs John Smith

123 Main Street

Town, ST 12345-6789

 

Inner envelope:

Mr and Mrs John Smith or The Smith Family or John, Mary and Sally

For STDs you don't need the outer and inner envelopes-you can just have outer envelopes.

For both STDs and invitations, the outer envelope can be addressed to the "lady/gentleman/couple" of the house-you don't need to include on it the names of everyone included in the invitation.

Inner envelopes would get used with invitations only.  If you don't use inner envelopes with invitations (not required if the invitation is not formal), then the outer envelope would read:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Miss Sally Smith
or Ms. Sally Smith
123 Main Street
Town, ST 12345-6789

The inner envelope would read

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Miss Sally Smith
or Ms. Sally Smith

Boys would be addressed as Mr. James Smith in a separate line under their parents' name.
