Wedding etiquette on invitation envelopes is a long-time tradition that highlights the elegance of an event that will create memories for a lifetime. But how do you know to properly address your guests? Don't worry, we got you covered! Here's what you need to know.

Addressing Couples

When addressing married couples, have the husband's salutation written first followed by the wife's, (Ms., Mrs.) and then the husband's full name. You don't have to write his middle name, but if you do, spell it out rather than initial. For example:

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cooper Daniels

For couples who are not married or married with different last names, write the female guest's name first. Place the names of unmarried couples on separate lines rather than connected to "and," which implies marriage. Then, address them by their respective titles and last names on the inner envelope.

Inviting Children

For a family with children, address only the parent's names on the outside envelope. Children's first names are listed below Mom and Dad on the inner envelope, like so:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Jake, Emma and Noah

In this case, "and" can be used here since the marriage implication applies to adults. List the children from oldest to youngest. For a more formal feel, you can call boys under 13 "Master" and girls below 18 "Miss."

Professional Titles

Incorporating professional titles in your invitations is a little tricky, but not difficult with careful study. If someone in the family is a doctor, always place their name and Doctor title first whether they are a wife or husband, like so:

Doctor and Mrs. John Campbell

Doctor Mary Hoffman and Mr. Carl Hoffman

If someone is a Judge, list them first also with the title "Honorable." If both the husband and wife is a judge, write down the wife first, like so:

The Honorable William Young and Mrs. Young

The same format applies for other professional titles such as "Lieutenant." Don't forget to use the word "and" for married couples!

About Extra Guests

Sometimes it's not always clear to determine exactly how many people can be invited to your wedding. How do you know who should not be included without going over your budget? Here's a good rule of thumb. Always invite the spouses of any guests you're inviting. For significant others, best friends, and dates of the guest use your discernment as necessary. If they have been together with the guest for more than six months, it's generally a good idea to invite them. To send an invite to any of these plus-one examples, find out where they are and send out the invitations separately. If you are unable to do that, write them on the same line such as "Mr. John Smith and Guest." If you personally know the extra guest, you can use their name.
