Hey!  I want to order our STDs and I want to make sure of two thing before I do

1) if we are doing adult reception only should we say so on the STD or on the formal invitation?  (my whole family has done adult reception  only and so most of them know or have already asked)

2)what is the proper wording for the return address label? (both of our first and last names and then our address)


thanks much!!!!

    For our return address labels we just used "The Future Mr. & Mrs." followed by the address of our apartment.

    You shouldn't put "adults only" on the STd or the invitations. Just include the names of the people that are invited. If anybody calls to ask if their child is invited, or includes them on the RSVP, you will need to tell them you cannot accommodate any children.

    I agree with this!    You don't need to put anything on either the STD or invites.   You just include the names of those invited.  You can ask your parents to spread the word that children are not invited.

    As for the return address, I think I just put my name because it was my apartment that was listed.   Honestly, noone is going to pay attention to whose name and address is listed so don't sweat it put both of your names if you want.

    Maybe put just the address - no names. That's how I did it on the invitations, so it should be more than all right for the STDs.

    Agreed about the no "adults only" on the STD.  Just address it to those who are invited.

    I used the return address labels I have, which are pretty ones with my last initial in large cursive, then my name and address next to it.  FI and I don't live together yet, so even though his side of the family/friends may not have recognized my name on the envelope, when they saw the STD they knew who it was for.  I wouldn't sweat it.
