Wedding Invitations & Paper

invites for unmarried couple not living together?

Hello everyone!

Two of my very good friends have always been on the guest list since we started planning. I have them on the list as Miss Jane Doe and guest and Mr. John Smith and guest.

About six months ago, they FINALLY got together (all of their mutual friends have been saying for years that they are perfect for each other) and I couldn't be happier for them.

Of course, they are coming to the wedding together but they do not live together. It seems weird to send both of them a "and guest" invite but is it appropriate to send one invite for both of them to only one address? Should I just send them invites to "Miss Jane Doe" and "Mr John Smith" without guest invites? (I'm a little afraid that her mother will take advantage of the "and guest" because friend is attending with her boyfriend so her "and guest" is up for grabs. She lives with her mom and mom is fine but not on the guest list).

Just trying to figure out the best way to handle their invites. Thoughts?

  • I would send one to each of them without the, and guest. You know they will be coming with each other anyway,

  • I sent one invite with both their names on it to a friend of ours who recently got together with another friend. We asked if they minded and they said no, so I sent it to Jason XXXXXX and Iris XXXXXXX at Jay's address.

  • I think the "proper" way would be to send them separate invitations.  In reality, they would probably say, "Oh, just send it to Jane" if you asked.
    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.
