Outter/Inner Envelope

LizzyRB

Most etiquette I've seen says to write specific names of who is invited on the inner envelope (also where kids names and "and guest" would be indicated).

If I am not having the inner envelope where would I indicate that a guest is invited or that the children are invited. Is this something I should/can put on the address?

On the outer envelope with the address, yes. We also wrote everyone who was invited on that M________ line on the reception card.

So:

Mr. John Doe & Guest
1111 Park Place

also

Mr. & Mrs. John and Jane Doe
Bob, Kelly, and Ryan
2222 Michigan Ave

?

Yes. If the person is in a relationship, though, try to find out their guest's name. Also do that if they (or you) already know who they are bringing if not in a relationship.  If you truly do not know who they are bringing, "and guest" is ok.

I think you're supposed to write out "and" and not use "&," but I'm not 100% sure what the rule is.
