Addressing invitaitons

Ajoyd · June 2012

Did anyone opt for the informal, i.e. Brian and Maggie Smith, over the formal, i.e. Mr. and Mrs. Brian Smith, when they addressed their invitations?

I am going to be working on my envelopes tonight and I am leaning toward the informal but am curious to know what you all did.

I did the formal
but the invite lady messaged up on few that were couples unmarries and so some came out like
"Ms. Maggie Smith
John Butler
1234 Main Rd. "

which is prob wrong but oh well it was only 3 or 4

I did a little more formal...

Mrs. Jane and Mr. John Smith
James, Jennifer and Julian
123 Street Rd.

I didn't bother with inner envelopes so I listed kids' names (oldest to youngest) on the outside under the parents' names (ladies first).

ETA:

Unmarried people living together I did like this:

Ms. Jane Doe
Mr. John Smith
James, Jennifer and Julian
123 Street Rd.

Our wedding is casual, and our invitations were addressed to "John and Jane Smith" No mr. or mrs. I know its not proper, but I don't care. That's me!

For older married couples that would be familiar with the most traditional of wording, we did:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

For younger married couples in our circle of friends that might be a bit put off if we left off the woman's name, we did:

Mrs. Jane and Mr. John Smith

For unmarried people living together, we did:

Mr. John Smith

Ms. Jane Doe

Thanks! And also I realized I spelled invitations wrong in the headline...oops

I think I will go with the Mrs. Jane and Mr. John Smith style. I just don't care for leaving off the female spouse's name, even if that is more traditional.

oh my goodness...I didn't even think of this while addressing invitations. The all went out to Jane and John Doe. Whoops!

I wanted the female name in their but FI printed the envelopes and got the more traditional way.
