Ok I sent out my e-party invites which were a nightmare to deal with...Problem is that i still have about 15 to send out, i am waiting for FH to give me the addresses ...I just spoke to his mom and she gave me like 2 but then with two others this is what she told me to do and i really dont know how i should do this
Ok I had already sent out one invite Fh's aunt, but now she is telling me to send another invite to his aunts house but its for her daughter and daughters husband, the daughter remarried recently and she doesn't have the address or even know her new last name...She said she will get the last name but to send it and put in the address 'in care of aunts name' since its getting mailed to her house...Is there a proper way to do it...i hope i explained this right and its not too confusing.
Same situation with someone else, i am supposed to send their invite to someone elses house but they don't have the husbands name...
Another invite i have to send it to their cousin and his fiance but they dont know her last name.
I really don't know what to do, i am basically given this info and supposed to send out but i cant be rude, i cant put and guest when someone is engaged.
Don't know if there is an answer for this...I seriously can't take this invitation BS anymore lol, ive had one problem after another

Re: Invitation address question.
Hmmmmmmmmm, I don't know if that sounds right. In care of... You're having a classy affair, I wouldn't want to take away from it, you know?
Is there anyway you can call the daughter and ask her husband's name and last name? Same with the other people you don't know? If you feel awkward, delegate it to your FH, MOH, or BM!

Thats exactly what i was thinking, it doesn't sound right.
I don't even know the daughter, its a cousin of Fh's that i don't know. I did give this to FH to do but they basically give this to me and its like ok here you go, you can do the invite now. but NO i cant...at first i was given the names just first names with no address so when i gave the list back so they can get the addresses i thought it would be solved, but i dont know i have to try and figure out something...THanks alot

Can you try being pushy about it? I mean, worst case scenario, you have to send the invite the way the aunt asked you to, and you can talk to the cousin at your e-party and tell her what happened: 'your dopey @ss mom doesn't know your name!' Kidding, kidding!
I say try being pushy about it, especially with your FH and worst case, it gets sent 'In care of...' What more can you do?

Yup i tried that i kept saying get the addresses, i finally called before because i am doing the rest tonight, so i thought they would've been taken care of since i gave him the list on monday...So when i heard this i was just so frustrated with all this invitation bs we've had, i just said ok whatever fine...At this point its like i did everything proper but hey its their family and theyneed to go out, i cant get blamed for anything bc i dont know these particular people.
I did see one thing on an invitation etiquette site and this has been the best solution so far, to put the aunts name on the outer envelope, and on the inner envelope but the daughter and daughters husbands first names bc they said you can put first names on the inner envelope for a not so formal invitation, even though this will be formal, oh well only thing i can do. For my other ones i put MR and MRS on the inner envelopes.
Ok now im just rambling lol...Thank you so much for your advice
