Wedding Invitations Make Your Own

Question: How do i properly address my wedding invitations?

In particular, how do I address an invitation for my fiance's Uncle and Family. We're inviting his two cousins who still live at home but we'd like to give them both "and guest " as they're in their 20's. John, Jane, Jimmy (and Guest), Julie (and Guest) Smith - just doesn't look right?!

I would break it into separate lines. Here are two examples. If you are using BOTH an outer and inner envelope: Outer: The Smith Family 123 Main Street Anytown, USA 55555 Inner: Uncle John and Aunt Jane Jimmy and Guest Julie and Guest If you are using invitations that have ONLY outer envelopes, try this: John and Jane Smith Jimmy Smith and Guest Julie Smith and Guest 123 Main Street Anytown, USA 55555 In a perfect world, you would send three separate invitations (one to the married couple, one to Jimmy, and one to Julie), but most people understand that invitations are expensive. It's okay to send just one, as long as you make it clear who is included.

I have no idea but i know were tired of wasting money on all weddings and on all divorces we all could use that money to pay our own bills...i guess everyone owes people money for weddings and for divorces then...... call the invitation printers up on phone and ask em or call a wedding planner..... guest looks fine.... also your local library reference people will give you the answer....

The 'rule' is that every person over 18 gets an invitation of their own, even if they are living at home. So you will have 3 invites: John & jane Julie & guest Jimmy & Guest

I think the adults should get their own invite. The fact that they are living at home doesn't matter.

The invitation should be Mr John Smith & Guest for the person if they are single. If you know the name of there partner then you can write both names Mr. John Smith & Miss Jane Doe. Mr & Mrs John Smith for a married couple. So for your uncle and Fiance you will write both names for the cousins it would be there names and guest unless they have a girlfriend/ boyfriend and you know who they are then you use there names like on the uncles invitation. I hope this helps
