Invite Question

millkn2

For a gay couple do I list Mr. X and Mr. X or do I list the first name and the next name under it?

We live in Florida, they are not allowed to get married in the eyes of the law unfortunately.

My sister and her partner are not married yet, but engaged, so their invitation is:

Ms. My Sister

Ms. My Sister's Partner

Address

The "and" or "&" implies marriage.

Depends. I did "and" for a lesbian couple I invited, because I know they pretty much consider themselves married, they just aren't allowed to be legally married in my state. However, if they're just dating/don't live together/haven't been together a long time, I'd address them like any other dating couple, which is separate lines, no "and." I doubt they'd be offended either way.

Thanks! I think I am going to just list them separate to be safe. I am not exactly sure just how serious the relationship is!
