 ) Otherwise the following tips will help you to properly address your wedding invitation envelopes.
- You should address the envelopes with either calligraphy or really neat handwriting
- You should not use peel and stick labels
I had a friend that took calligraphy classes at a community college so that she could do all of the calligraphy herself. But if you decide to do this then you should give yourself plenty of time to address all of the envelopes.
Outer Envelope
- The outer envelope is used to get the wedding invitation to its proper destination
- The return address should be printed on the flap of the outer envelope
- Formal names should be used on the envelope such as
- Mr. and Mrs. William Donaldson
- Doctor and Mrs. Robert Alberts
- Colonel and Mrs. Stephen James
- The envelope should be addressed to the heads of the household; children should be mentioned on the inner envelope
Inner Envelope
- The purpose of the inner envelope is to let guests know exactly who is invited
- The full first names (not nick-names) of all of your invited guests should be listed
- The parents should be listed first and then any children in age order
- Children that are 18 years old and older should receive their own invitation
