addressing invites

I am sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find a thread that addresses my questions directly. 

Our invitations do not have inner envelopes.  Per another thread I found I believe it is ok to write "and guest" on those invited who are single with no SO.  I also know to write out the names of everyone invited (vs. and family so some people don't go ahead and try to bring a ton of people). 

What do I do for non-married couples that don't live together?  I have 5 or 6 friends who are in a relationship with someone and they do not live with each other.  The SO's are only invited because they are SO's, so I do not want to send the SO a separate invite in the event that the relationship would end.  Can I just write the SO's name on the envelope with the invite that is going to my friends?  The last wedding I went to I was not living with FI and the invite I received at my address had both our names on it, and while I had no problem with it I wanted to make sure it's ok.

Lastly.  The response cards will be sent back to my parents house.  When filling out the address do I put Mr. and Mrs. Bride's Parents followed by address, or John and Jane Bride's last name with address, or Bride's Last Name/Groom's Last name Wedding followed by the address?  Thank you!

Re: addressing invites

  • We put The Smith/Jones Wedding and our address for the RSVP envelopes. I would either do that or what Stage suggested and use their names since they are going to their house. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • Thank you very much!  Our invites won't go out until the end of April, but I want to start addressing 10 or so per night so I'm not stuck last minute writing everything out and I didn't want to start until I made sure I was addressing them correctly.
