Wedding Invitations & Paper

Addressing Save the Dates

I'm sending out post card save-the-dates sometime soon.  While filling in our addresses, I came across something that I need help with.  Several friends and family members have serious significant others that we wish to include on one save-the-date (and eventually invitations).  How should I word these?  For example, my fiance's cousin (and best man) and his fiancee (to be married after us) live at the same address.  Should I address it to Bryan X and Crystal Y?  Bryan and Crystal X is technically incorrect since they are not married yet, but I don't want to send two postcards.  I also don't want to leave Crystal's name off the save-the-date entirely, because I feel like that makes it look like we are excluding her, which I have no intention of doing.  We have at least nine other couples in the same situation, and we don't want to unintentionally offend anyone.  Any advice would be much appreciated!  Thanks!

Re: Addressing Save the Dates

  • Put them both on the save-the-date, her name first, his name underneath it, without the word "and" joining their names. (The "and" denotes marriage.)

  • I just did mine and ran into the same problem. I was told it doesnt really matter on the STD but defiantley for the Wedding Invites they need to be "professional". For my save the dates I kept it fun and Addressed them to say

    "Aaron and Nicole"
    12345 xmas Ave N
    St Nick MN 55555

    versus

    "Aaron Johnson and Nicole Anderson
    12345 xmas ave n
    St Nick MN 55555

    <div>Unless they are married, this is not correct.  If they are married their names should be on separate lines with no "and," just as I had listed it above.</div>
