Addressing Inside Envelope??

The inside envelope should include the name(s) of the person(s) invited. For example, if you're inviting a single friend w/ a guest you would indicate that on the inside envelope, otherwise, they wouldn't know they're invited w/ a guest. Likewise, if you're inviting them w/o a guest, it would just say their name.

Also, if you're including the children of invited guests, you would indicate that on the inside envlope as well...i.e. Mr. and Mrs. X and children, or, less formal....Mark, Gina, Mary and Tammy (kids' names in age order). It's alot of work but necessary!

I started to do inner envelope addressing but given that I was doing them all myself on my printer, I decided that the extra work was really slowing me down. I omitted this step and my invitations flew. So I want to say it's not a 'MUST' (and not just because I didn't do it :o)) Believe me, no one will hold it against you except for maybe a bossy MIL so in that case, you should do what you think is best for your situation. I believe you do simply write the first names of the people invited Mr & Mrs. Robert S. Smith would be Bob and Sally. Or Uncle Bob and Aunt Sally however you know them informally. Good luck.

There were a few, actually... In the final running, it was Imagine Studios (who did our engagement shoot), Ed Collins Photography, Susan Francy and Mark Kaufmann. The final decision was really based on the the fact that we are getting two photographers and that we fell in love with BOTH photographers work! And honestly, this last time, we sat there and KNEW that we had the right photographers... It was the best feeling that we have gotten during this whole photography process and we have picked everything for this wedding based on our feelings...
