E-Save the Dates?

I've created an email save the date through Paperless Post and I'm ready to hit send. One thing I realized is that when each guest opens up their email, an envelope pops up with their name and opens to our photo and information. Do I address this portion formally? What's the recommendation? I have searched everywhere and haven't found much info. on e-save the date etiquette.

  • I've posted also how the envelope appears on the screen. 
  • Just say who's invited - i.e. Mr. and Mrs. Jones; The Jones Family; Sally Smith and Jerry Jones.... Or am I missing something?

  • Thanks! I wasn't sure if it should read like a formal invitation: 
    i.e. Mr. and Mrs. James Arthur Darling
  • Gotcha. Address them how you plan yo address invitations. If you're going for the most formal wording, you'd use your example. If not, you can use a less formal salutation.

    Or whatever people prefer - I know people to cringe at Mr and Mrs John Smith and I know people who are insulted if their addressed any other way. Know your audience.

  • Just beware that someone can forward your STD to a person who isn't invited. Which could cause hurt feelings or an awkward conversation.

  • I don't think you can forward a paperless post. I believe guests have to be invited by the original host.  However I have never (and would never) taken it upon myself to invite friends to a party that I wasn't hosting.
