Addressing Invitations- Need Help!!!

Im trying to finalize the names/addresses for my invitation but a few things are confusing me, Please Help!!!

1- I am inviting a bunch of women from work that I am friends with, but have never met their husbands. Some I dont even know their husbands name!! Do I still address it as 'Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith'?? It just seems strange not to put the name of the actual woman Im inviting anywhere on the invitation??

2- The inside envelope- just first names and drop titles and last names? drop the first names and just use title and last names?

3- Single people that will be invited with guest to give them the option of bringing a date, or are in a relationship and want to invite boyfriend/girlfriend, where do you put 'and Guest'? Both the outer and inner envelope, or just the outer??

Thank You for your help!!!

1 - yes, I would do Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

2 - you can do either...more formal is Mr. and Mrs. Smith on the inside

3 - you can do either, but I just found out when doing mine, technically, it goes on the inside only.

(ie: Ms. Joan Smith on outside, Ms. Smith and Guest on inside)

HTH!
