First off, I know I am not geting married for a year and its to early for anything. I am just wondering.....
We have a lot of friends who are married, engaged, live together or have been together for ever but dont live together. I know that we will send 1 invite with both parties names on it to the couples that live together, but what about the couples that are a social unit, but live alone? Will I send them each an ivite or send one and put both names on it?

    Send each an invite. Keep this in mind for budgetary reasons if you decide to order pricey invitations.

    I think it depends on if you're close friends with each or not. if you're close friends with a guy who has a serious girlfriend who you don't know that well you'd just send them one invitation

    We just sent it to one with both names on it.  We knew that we liked getting joint mail pre-wedding, so we figured our friends would too.

    My calligrapher says toput the name of the friend on the outside and then of both on the inner for ppl who dont' live together but are in a relationship.

    All couples only got one invite for ours, with both names on it.  I would think sending them each their own might really confuse the RSVP process; do they rsvp just for themselves, b/c their bf got an invite too?  would niether respond because they assume the other is taking care of it?

    Also consider if you would ACTUALLY want both at your wedding if they were to break up.  in some cases you would, but in others it's better to send the invite to the person that's truly your friend.  The s/o is named on the invite, so it's clear they're invited, but reduces confusion, just in case.

    Send one invitation, addressed to both people.
    Choose the address based on who you are closer to. If that's not possible, ask them where they'd prefer to receive it.
    The person whose home it is gets their name on it first.

    From a proper etiquette standpoint, you should send the invitations to each person if they are not cohabitating.  Now if you're really only friends with one person in the couple (so if they broke up, only one person would truly be invited), you can send the invitation to that person but put both names on the envelop (no & in between their names since the & indicates marriage).

    Send it to the female with both names on it.....in my experience guys are terrible with invitations and RSVPs.  When my husband was living with 3 other guys, they all got invitations to the same wedding and all threw them out on accident.  We had NO idea what was going on for the wedding.
