Wedding Invitations

Proper Etiquette for Addressing Your Envelopes

Celebrate the most precious moment in your life with personalized wedding invitations and accessories. Wedding invitations should have distinctive style and express the personality of the bride and groom.

Wedding Invitations...

Wedding invitations not only inform your guests of the date, time, location and hosts of the wedding, they set the tone for your entire wedding celebration. Your wedding invitation may also include the time and location of the reception. Mail wedding announcement six weeks before the wedding and be sure to have your wedding invitations weighed at the post office to determine the proper postage.

Wedding Invitation Outer Envelopes:

1. Use full names and formal titles. Ex: Doctor and Mrs. Steven Johnson. Do not abbreviate.
2. Do not use symbols. Spell out the word "and".
3. Do not use initials. Spell out all names.
4. Do not write "and family" if children are to be included in the invitation (See #2 of Inner Envelopes).
5. Use figures only when writing house numbers and zip codes. Ex: 1747 Second Avenue South
6. Write out the words "Street", "Boulevard", "Avenue", etc.
7. Do not abbreviate state names.

Wedding Invitation Inner Envelopes:

1. Use full names and formal titles. Ex: Mr. and Mrs. Steven Johnson. Do not abbreviate. 
2. Type the first names of children to be invited below the parents' names in order of age.
Ex: Mr. and Mrs. Stevens
Lisa, Adam, and Julia
3. Omit children's names if you do not plan on children at your wedding and are planning an adult-only celebration.
4. If an invitation to a single guest extends to an unknown escort, address the inner envelope with your guest's name followed by "and Guest". Ex: Miss Andrews and Guest

Wedding Invitation Single Outer Envelopes:

If you have selected a wedding invitation that does not include an inner envelope or choose not to use your inner envelope, you may follow traditional addressing rules for outer envelopes or create a new way that works best for you.

1. For a traditional single outer envelope address, include the names of the children to be invited below the parents’ names as on a standard inner envelope.
2. Write “and guest” as it would have appeared on an inner envelope.

Mailing Your Wedding Invitations:

1. Mail all wedding invitations at the same time, six to eight weeks before the wedding date, using first class postage. If you are enclosing reception response cards in your invitations, remember to include stamps on the return envelopes.
2. Assembled wedding invitations often require additional postage. To avoid postage delays and returned wedding invitations, take a completely assembled wedding invitation to your post office to determine proper postage.
3. Be sure to include a return address on each outer envelope. Wedding invitations returned by the post office will allow you to invite those individuals personally.
4. Mail in time to get a RSVP...read more >>>>

Outer Envelopes with Printed Return Address...

Save time while making sure undeliverable wedding invitations are returned to you by having your outer envelopes printed with a return address for a slight additional charge. This will also ensure that those guests who want to send cards and gifts directly to your home will have the correct address.

Wedding Reception Folders and Cards...

Wedding reception cards are used to inform guests of the location of the wedding reception and or wedding dance. Since wedding reception cards are enclosed in with your wedding invitation, mailing envelopes are not necessary. Wedding reception cards use the same folding card as an informal and respond card.

Tip:  At the bridal shower have each  guest fill out a thank you note envelope with their name and address.  This is a nice gift for the bride and saves her many hours of hand writing each guest's address on the envelope for the thank you note.
