A few inner envelope questions

I'm putting the final touches on our invitation list and I have a few questions that I could not find clarified on Crane's website.

For an unmarried couple not living together, are you supposed to send separate invitations, or an invitation to the person close to you? For example, my friend Jimmy is dating Mary, who we've never met. Would the invitation suite look like this? :

Outer:

Mr. James Joyce
123 Caulder Street
Avalon, New Jersey, 12345

Inner:

Mr. Joyce
Ms. Lemming

or should her name be listed first on the inner envelope?


Crane's also mentions that for a "junior," the outer envelope would look like this:

Mr. James Joyce, junior
123 Caulder Street
Avalon, New Jersey, 12345

Crane's then says to abbreviate the suffix in the inner envelope like so:

Mr. Joyce, Jr.

Is this correct?

Finally, for families with children, do you simply list their first names on the inner envelope like so :

Outer:

Mr. and Mrs. James Joyce
123 Caulder Street
Avalon, New Jersey, 12345

Inner:

Mr. and Mrs. Joyce
Bradford and Angela


Thanks for your help!

  • These days, it is fine to send one invitation to a dating couple.  You could send separate invitations, if you wish.  The lady's name comes first on the inner envelope, but I would send the invitation to the person you know best.
    You are good with the other invitations.

    I'm afraid I must disagree. It's still considered impolite to send someone an invitation at an address that is not his own. Moreover, there's little reason to do so.

    I also can't think of any reason not to include invited children on the outer envelope. I'm not sure if it's approved by etiquette or not, but why not err on the side of caution?
