Wedding Invitations & Paper

numbered streets formal invitation

Would I write out the ceremony address on an invitation as "1500 Six Mile Rd" "1500 6 Mile Rd" or would it be either of those with "Road"?

Thanks!

  • Thank you! Now I'm wondering, what if it had been, say, 20 instead of 1500.
    Would I write "Twenty Six Mile Road" That would be confusing. :) Oh well I don't have that problem, fortunately.
  • Actually, now that I reread your question and realize that you are asking about the ceremony location address, I may have given you bad advice.  Apparently in formal invitations, you are not supposed to put the location address - just the name of the venue, city and state.  I think the rule is broken quite often, so you can do whatever you like, but for the greatest formality, don't put the address and do a directions card insert.  Maybe another knottie could chime in if that is right or wrong.

    You usually just put the name of the venue followed by the City, State rather than including the entire address. We did include our church address because there are two churches by the same name in our area. OP, just use your best judgment on that :)

    I'm guessing it would be 1500 Six Mile Road. (Road, Street, Avenue, etc. should all be spelled out.) But I would check with the venue and see what they use for their own formal mailings - if they use the numeral 6 rather than the word Six, I would go with that. 

    Hope that helps :)


    Edit in response to your question about if the address were "20": The street number (1500 or 20 or 800 or whatever) would never be written out in words, always use a number for that! It's things like "First Street" or "Fifth Avenue" that get spelled.
