How to address the RSVP Address

FI and I are hosting the wedding and living together.  I saw conflicting advice how to address the RSVP envelopes that will be coming back to us and I was interested in feedback from this board (since it's an etiquette board and you all are good at giving advice).

A few options that have been mentioned are:
1.  bride last name / groom last name
2. bride last name & groom last name Wedding
3.  Ms. bride last name & Mr. groom last name
4.  The Future Mr. & Mrs. groom last name

The last one is cute, but doesn't go with the formality of our invitations.

Any other suggestions, besides me not obsessing about this so much?

Re: How to address the RSVP Address

  • It really doesn't matter.  We chose Doe/Smith Wedding.

  • Are yours going to be pre-printed?  I didn't have that option and had to use a rubber stamp.  Because I hoped to use it in the future, I chose our first names only.

    If it's printed on the envelopes, I like kcs' suggestion.

    If the return address is on the back flap, there shouldn't be any names.  If you are having your response card pre-printed, you can do Smith-Doe Wedding, followed by the address that shows up on the return address.  They really should match in case aunt edna wants to mail you a gift and forgets to write down the correct address when she sends the response card - but still has the envelope with all the other info in it.
