How to Write & Address Wedding Envelopes
- 1). Write the title of a single recipient and then the first and last name on the top line of the outer envelope. Write the street address on the second line. Write the city, state and ZIP code on the third line. Address the inner envelope with simply the recipient's title, last name and the words "and Guest."
- 2). Address the outer envelope to a married couple by writing both titles and then the husband's first name and then the last name. If the wife has a different last name, write each complete name with title on a separate line. Write the street address on the next line. Write the city, state and ZIP code on the last line. Address the inner envelope with the titles and the last name only. If the couple has different last names, write their titles and last names on two separate lines. If children are invited, write their first names on the last line.
- 3). Write the address for same-sex couples or unmarried couples by writing each complete name with titles on separate lines on the outer envelope. Write the street address on the third line and the city and state on the fourth line. Address the inner envelope by writing each name on a separate line with the titles and last names only.
