addressing invitations

[Deleted User]

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to address the following situation. My friend is engaged, which means I have to invite her FI by name rather than just "guest". The live together so I assume only one invitation is in order. The tricky situation is that they have children. I can't really say Mr. & Mrs and children because theyre not married. Do I list everyone's names?

If you are inviting the children, you could address the outside as:

Mr. John Smith

Mr. Jane Doe

Then the inside envelope, or an insert card, could say: John, Jane, Billy and Sarah

If you have no inner envelopes, you could write on the outer envelope

Mr. John Smith

Miss Jane Doe

Billy and Sarah Smith

MyNameIsNot

Ms. Jane Smith

Mr. John Doe

Dick, Jane, Harry

BTW, you should be inviting all significant others by name, not just those that are engaged.  I'm sorry if I read wrong, but I get the impression from your post that you otherwise would be inviting boyfriends and girlfriends as "& guest" which is incorrect.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention I'm not having inner envelopes, which is why I can figure it out.
And yes, all SOs are invited by name, not just engaged couples, I just wanst clear about it. Thanks!
