Inner Envelopes Formal? Quick Q

Are you staying formal on your inner envelopes for your siblings/close aunts/uncles?

ie., (bro/SIL) Jerry and Molly or keeping it formal....

Aunt Margaret and Uncle James or Mr. and Mrs. James X?

Thx.

I went formal. Everyone is listed as Mr. and Mrs. except for children.

Re: Inner Envelopes Formal? Quick Q

we didn't....but that's just us. do what you want. i found it more personal to make the inner informal....cause never do i refer to my mom's uncle as Edward...he's Kenji...which is short for ken jr...he was named after my great-g-pa..and he went by ken (middle name)...so on the outer i was super formal right down to Dr. & Mrs, Esquire for lawyers, etc..., but on the inside, I had fun.

For my mother, formal - because she would otherwise blow a gasket, same for his mom. For siblings, and some really close friends informal.

Re: Inner Envelopes Formal? Quick Q

I went casual with my family members, but FI went formal with his family. I thought it was weird that he addressed the invite to his parents as Mr & Mrs. instead of Mom & Dad.

Re: Inner Envelopes Formal? Quick Q

I did first names on the inside -- but peoples full names so that it was in between totally formal and totally casual. I did Grandma and Grandpa for grandparents and 2 great Aunts as 'Aunt...', but otherwise first names...
