Engagement Party Invitation Question....

Hi Everyone! Please Help!! I printed up my own Engagement Party Invitations (they came out AWESOME!!) but I have a few problems. 1. How do I address the envelope if a couple lives together but are not married... Christine Smith Christopher Jones 123 Lake Street Town, State 12345 2. How would I address an entire family being invited? I know 'etiquettely speaking' you are not suppossed to write, and family, on the actual Wedding Invitaion but it`s just the Engagement Party! :o)~ 3. If you are inviting someone and you have NO idea if they are dating or single but you would like them to know that they can bring someone, can you write, and Guest or is that a No-No? What would/did you do??? Any help and suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

hope this helps: 1. Mr. C. Jones and Ms. C. Smith 2. The Jones Family 3. I would stay away from and Guest but if you can`t find out; a small note inside the invite inviting the person with a guest is probably your best bet. good luck! ~Kim

People living together are addressed in alphabetical order. And Family will work fine, so will and Guest. BUT make sure you know your croud if you are going to this. I recently attended a friends party where invites were addressed using 'and guest' and two people took this as And GuestS. One showed up with 2 adtl people and the other (a family member) with 4!

I think what you have for the couple living together, but not married is fine. Also since the envelope is the only place you have to let the household know who's invited, I think that writing 'and Family' is fine as well as 'and Guest'
