Ok, again I'm sure this was posted before, but I coln't find the post, so - If an outer envelope is printed:
Mr. & Mrs. John Jones 555 Cross Road New York, NY 12121
How would you write the inner envelope?
Mr. & Mrs. John Jones
or
John & Mary Jones
or something else?
Thanks

I tried to make the inner envelopes more personal and only wrote first names on them...so I wrote John & Mary on the inner
That's what I'm doing too.

I was told the outer gets:
Mr. and Mrs. John Jones 123 Sesame Street Anywhere, New York 11111
Inner gets:
Mr. and Mrs. Jones

I always HATE when I see Mr. and Mrs John Smith. Although I believe this is the 'formal' way to do it. It's like the woman is now the 'property' of the husband and cease to have her own identity.
So, I would address to either:
Mr and Mrs Smith Or John and Mary Smith
IMO
seconded. Just because it's 'etiquette' or whatever doesn't negate the fact that it's sexist and outdated.
I'm not a crazy feminist or anything... I just think there are certain things that are archaic and should be left in the past.
