I live on my own with my fiancee however, my father is compeltely paying for our wedding (ceremony+reception) Because my father is paying for it i figured I have to use the invitation where it says basicaly, mr. ba blah requests your presence at the marriage of his daughter me and bah llhhee.  Now i am fine with this and love the way it sounds. BUT addressing the evelopes with his address may be an issue because hes not really planning at all just paying. can I put his name but our address? Also if I cant i feel like it would be rude to not have it as him hosting since hes the reason I am even having a wedding otherwise we would be eloping because we wouldnt be able to afford getting a home and a wedding and getting a home is our first priority.

    Sure you can. :)

    Our invitations had both sets of parents listed as hosting, but my return address was on everything. Since DH and I were doing most of the work, everything just came to me.

    I wouldn't put his name with your address.  Just put your own name and address.  Post office might get confused if it's your address with someone's name who doesn't live there.

    Technically, etiquette wise, the return address should be that of the person(s) hosting.

    Practically, the person (s) most organized top keep track of the guest list should do it

    I put my info for the RSVP (just mine even though my fiance and I also live together) as that is what my parents prefered.  They are paying for the entire thing, and are listed as hosting on the invitation, but the RSVP's came to me.  I asked them if that is how they wanted it handled, and they also prefered it this way as they are paying for what I plan (within reason, LOL).  But they did say that as my fiance and I are not yet married, they wanted the RSVP to just list me.  This seemed like a simple enough request, so we did as they wanted.

    It's fine to use your own name and address for the return address and for the address on RSVPs. Don't put his name and your own address - the post office doesn't care what name you use, but your guests who know your dad's address might get confused.
