One invitation or two?

mrsbuzzlightyear

A decent proportion of our guest list includes couples who do not live together. Would we send the couple one invitation addressed to both of them but sent to one person's house, or should each person get their own invitation sent to their own house?

I would send them to the hose of the guest which I was closer friends. I would feel awkward splitting up the social unit.

I would probably send out one invite to the one you are closer to due to the fact that they might think that you aren't inviting their SO or they could both RSVP as "2" and it might confuse you when you get a flood of RSVP cards back and have a case of "bridal brain".

I would just contact the couple and ask them, "I plan to invite the two of you together, as a social unit. Where would you like me to mail your invitation." Easy.

Many times one person in a couple keeps better track of the social calendar. The couple might prefer that person receive the invitation. It may or may not be the person you're closest to.

I'd send it to the person you're closer to; FI and I have been together for years but never lived together - his friends send ours to him, my friends send theirs to me. Or if you know both halves equally well, just send it to the one who you think is most organized. 

We got a couple separate invitations this year, despite being engaged, and it irked me for some reason.

I would send one invite to the person with whom you are closest to. If it's equal for both, address to the person who will appreciate it more happy mailing!

I was just wondering this. My brother and his girlfriend do not live together, but are pretty serious. Do I send the invitation to him and include her name on it??? or send one to her too?

@katieg520 - you send them one invitation (like everyone said above). 

Just send it to him and address it like this:

Brother's Name

Brother's GF's Name

Address
