Inside Envelopes

On the inside envelopes do you put Mr. and Mrs. Smith or Jane and Joe

also, if you put first names, do you put the man or the woman first....and should you also include their last name....thanks!

If not:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Really you can do whatever you want. I think the inside envelope should be less formal than the outside envelope and should just include first names. I would put the man's name first. Also I think the calligraphylady or something like that she is a vendor on this site has envelope addressing advice on her website.

I put first names on the inner envelope...whether I knew them well or not....i wanted it to be more personal on the inside

This was a big question for us too. We looked on so many websites and they all said different things. So is basically whatever you want to do. We put first names on the inner envelope and I think we did the man's name first.

We did the inner the same as the outer:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smiith

Or if its a single with the guest the inner said:

Mr. John Smith and Guest

According to the ettiquette 'rules' the inner only has surnames and the first names of small children. I wanted to do first names for everyone to keep it casual but this was not possible since I didn't know all of my guests guests' first names...so I did this (the first couple we invited with their children):

OUTER:
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Friedman

INNER:
Mr. and Mrs. Friedman
Amaris and Michael

OUTER:
Mr. and Mrs. Xavier Lopez

INNER:
Mr. and Mrs. Lopez

OUTER:
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Debord

INNER:
Mr. and Mrs. Debord


Hope these were enough examples...good luck!
