You can if you are inviting someone with a guest.

Re: Another Invite question

I did. I am not a very formal type person so I made my inner envelopes more casual (but appropriate). I was a little moer causal with my family than DH'a family because the are a lot more traditional.

I would write Mom and Dad, Lisa and Alex, Grandma, Kelly and Guest, etc.

Re: Another Invite question

I put the name in the inside envelope. Are you getting ready to start doing yours?

Re: Another Invite question

I did mainly to make it more clear who was invited. Some of our guests have children, but were not invited, so on the outside it would say Mr. and Mrs. Joe and Jennifer Smith, and the inside would say Joe and Jennifer.

Re: Another Invite question

Yes, we'd absolutely did for traditions sake. We'd used clear labels for this and also put full and formal names of spouses and children on the inner envelope. For the outer envelope we'd just put 'Mr. & Mrs. Jane Doe and Family' but for the inner envelope:
(first line)
'Mr. Roosevelt and Mrs. Michelle Cooper'
(second line for full and formal children's names)
Miss Jane Cooper

Re: Another Invite question

We did, ours were done by a calligrapher so it came with the price to do it, the inner envelopes were informal tho' like John and Jen etc

Re: Another Invite question

We did. Our outer envelopes were very formal, but the inner ones were very casual (Mom and Dad, Aunt Mary and Uncle John, Nana ~ you get the point... )
