I have a couple of situations where I'm not sure whether I should send one invite or two...
the first; one of my bridesmaids and one of FI's groomsmen have been dating for a few years now, but do not live together (they do live in the same city, though). they are both very close friends to myself and my FI, and both would have been invited, whether they were dating or not. should I send just one invite to one of their addresses, addressed to both of them? or should I send them each their own invite?
the second is a similar situation, FI's best man is dating another one of my bridesmaids, but they live in two seperate states. On this one I'm definitely leaning more towards sending each their own invite, since they probably won't be seeing each other until the wedding, once the invites go out.
I know before FI and I lived together, most of our mutual friends just sent things to my address with both of our names on it (which was a good idea, since FI is really bad about checking the mailbox and probably never would have see the invite until after the event). I'm just not sure if this was proper etiquitte, or if they all knew FI well enough and knew that they should just send the info my way
We know a few other couples who are not living together, but in most of those situations, we are only friends with one member of the couple, so we are just sending it to that person's address with both peoples' names on it. I guess I just feel weird "not" sending one of my close friends an invite, and basically including them as someone's date on another invite... even though I know that's not what I'm doing. TIA for any insight you guys can give me!
