How do you address?

How do you address?

I am helping with writing out my bridal shower addresses and I don't know how to address 3 women that live in the same house BUT all have different last names. The situation is as followed:

The Mother Jane Doe is divorced and has gone back to using her maiden name so now she is
Jane Maiden.

Jane Maiden's youngest daughter is still using her father's last name so her name is
Anne Doe.

The oldest, is married and lives in the same house as her mother and younger sister so her name is Mary Married.

So do I address the envelope to say :
Mrs Jane Maiden, Miss Anne Doe and Mrs Mary Married ???


Also- what will I do at the wedding?
I apoligize if this is confusing!

what about sending 3 different invites? would that make it easier?

It would but- since I just wrote 'The Maiden Family' on the save the date and sent a separate one for 'the Married Family'


I just don't want it to look weird in anyway...I feel like they may think it's even stranger to send 3 invites???


I'm thinking about writing:

Mrs Jane Maiden & Anne Doe

and then doing a separate one to

Mary Married

i would send the daughter who is married her own shower invitation because you will send her a separate invite to the wedding addressed to her and her husband.

are you planning to invite the mother and daughter who isn't married with a guest to your wedding? if so, i would send them each their own invitation because you will send them separate invites to the wedding as well, plus guest. if you aren't inviting each of them with guests, write the mothers name and the daughters names on the shower invite, which will probably be the same way you write it for the wedding invite.

Ms. Jane Maiden
Ms. Anne Doe
ADDRESS

HTH!!!

Personally, I'd just send three separate invites. It makes it easier on everyone.

Thanks- I would send 3 invites but then at for the wedding I would have to do the same and that's just wasteful.

I think I'm going to address

Jane Maiden
Anne Doe together and then the Married daughter alone for this and send 2 invites as opposed to only 1 or 3....

it's such a waste of paper IMO- I know they'll just end up tossing one of them.

Thanks girls!
