Addressing question

txmom21

We have several friends who are single parents and in LTR but not living together. We want to invite the kids and the s/o. We are not close to friends' s/o, so sending them a separate invitation seems odd. How do we address this type of invitation (no inner envelope)?

FI and I get invites that just say megan last name and shane last name, to me if I'm closer to that person. Or, shane last name and megan last name, to his address if he's closer to that person. Don't know if that's proper or not, but it's never offended either one of us.

I agree with Whit. I'd just send them to the person you are closest to, but put everyone's name on the envelope. "And guest" is too impersonal and might be offensive, since you know they have SOs.

find out the S/O's name and addres it to HerFirstname Lastname & Her S/O Firstname Lastname.

No "And Guest" when you know the significant other's name.

Ms. Jane Doe and Mr. John Smith
child's name on the next line (personally I use Ms. and Mr. for kids too, but the old-fashioned correct way is to use Miss or Master for little kids)

Got it. Thanks!

That definitely looks better and not so impersonal.
