inviting non-married couples

This is what I understand - but let me know if I'm mistaken - I just wanted to make sure: 

- when inviting two people that live together, we address the outer envelope to both of them
- when inviting someone who has a significant other, but does not live with them, I address it to the person on the outer envelope, then on the inner envelope put both their names.  (ie, I have a friend Trey who was engaged, but does not live with her.  I don't really know her, but she would of course be invited.  It is addressed just to him, but her name would go on the inner envelope.)

Does that seem correct?

Thanks!

    I did that on a case by case basis.  Most of the time I wrote down both names on the outer envelope, even if they weren't living together.  Sometimes I did both just on the inner though.  I'm not quite sure what etiquette dictates, but I personally don't think that there's anything wrong with only putting both of them on the inner envelope.  :)

    I don't either.  If I have both addresses, I may issue separate invitations to each but list both on the inner envelope.  If I have an address for only one, then I issue it to that one and list both names on both envelopes.

    I did this, too.

    OP, the one thing to be careful with is if the couple would be "offended" if addressing to both implied they lived together. I know some religions and cultures are very strict still about not living together until marriage. Obviously, that's a pretty rare scenario in today's day and age.

    So I agree, case-by-case basis

    We did both names and mailed it to the person we are closest to. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
