Tips and Etiquette: Samples of Envelope Addressing


Married Couple

Always addressed to both members of a married couple.

Example:

Unmarried Couple – Living Together

Addressed to both members of an unmarried couple who live at the same address. Example: Ms. Amelia Redding and Mr. Jeffrey Burton 25 Xavier Boulevard South Saint Paul, Minnesota 55075

 

Married Couple – Professional Titles

If the woman uses her husband’s name socially: Example:

Doctor Kenya Boudin and Mr. Carter Boudin


If the woman uses her maiden name both professionally and socially: Example:

Doctor Kenya Willaree and Mr. Carter Boudin


If both are professionals:

Examples:

Doctors Kenya and Carter Boudin

 

Including a Guest

If using inner and outer envelopes:

  • Outer envelope reads: Mr. Stephen Richard Humphries

  • Inner envelope reads: Mr. Stephen Richard Humphries and Guest

If you’re only using one envelope, include a short note with your invitation. Example:

Dear Stephen,

You are welcome to bring a guest to the wedding.

Please let me know. Regards,

Michelle (If time allows and Stephen supplies the information, you can send his guest an invitation, too.)
