Inner envelope help!

aimee58 · July 2012

Hey ladies! I know we're all in invite mode so here's the latest thought/question.

On the inner envelope, do I need to use more formal language, like the outer? For example: Do I have to write Mr. and Mrs. John Smith or can I just write John and Sue Smith? Just something I thought about tonight.....

all the information I found showed both options either really formal and just first names or Mr & Mrs Smith without the first name. It started not to make a whole lot of sense to me so I just said f* it, and just followed one of the directions as best as possible and hope people won't be too critical if it's wrong

For people that we didnt really know, aka our parents guest, i was more formal so they would know who was invited bc i didnt indicate that specifically on the RSVP cards

but for my parents i wrote:
Mom & Dad
for my Grandma who i call Nonnina (italian term for grandma) i wrote:
Nonnina Maria

or for friends im close with i did nicknames or shortened names like:
Mattie & Janine
or
Mike & Kim
or
Mikey & Guest

HTH! i think you can do what you want with the inner envelope, its there to indicate who specifically is invited from the outer envelope...i wouldnt stress over it...

My outers will say:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

While my inners say:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

I am not using inners. I am of no help.

I am not using inners either but I totally agree with mpjf1001.

For our inner envelopes we did:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith for those that needed to be more formal

John and Jane for our friends that could be more casual

There's a page on The Knot that talks about this...it's under the invitations section.

Thanks ladies! I would definitely feel silly sending my BMs an inner that says Ms. Smith. But for more fomal people/parent's friends I can understand that.
