I have two dilemnas... Please help, confused on whats the right thing to do
1) when addressing the inner envelope, how should the names be written? We would like the invitations to be formal, so let me know if I need to correct the wording.
this one was easy - unmarried couple - Ms. Jessica Smith and Mr. Brian Brown
not so sure here.... married couple - Mr. & Mrs. Brian Brown - or - Mrs. Jessica and Mr. Brian Brown
for Families... The Brown Family - or - Mr. & Mrs. Brian Brown and Family
2) we have three brothers that live together in the same house and they are over 18. should we send invitations to them individually or together? One is single, one is dating, and one is single and in our wedding party. I was thinking of maybe sending just one addressed to all three of them and then a separate one to the one with a gf... is that okay??
TIA!!!

Re: Invitation advice/help needed
I have the same problem with the brothers in the same house, I am sending them each their own invite. I feel when I used to live at home when the invites came addressed to my parents and not me also I got offended, JMO, it ***** to have to send 4 invites to the same house but thats what im doing!

The INNER enevelope for the unmarried couple you can just write their first names (Brian & Jessica). OUTER you could just put Ms Jessica___ and Mr Brian___ or just put one person's name on the OUTER since both names will be on INNER.
The married couple should say Mr & Mrs Brian________
For the guys, they each should be getting separate invites

(1) For the inner envelope you drop the salutation. so Mrs. and Mrs. Brian Brown, would be Brian & Jessica Brown. children (if invited) are on a second like, first name only, in order of age starting with the oldest, i.e Thomas, Stephen & Natalie.
(2) Formal invites: Anyone over the age of 18 should be getting an individual invitation.

Re: Invitation advice/help needed
I did mine like this (got it from the invitation company) :
~Married Couple~ On Inner envelope: Mr. & Mrs. Brown Outter: Mr. and Mrs. Brian Brown
~For a Family~ On outer envelope: Mr. and Mrs. John so and so
On inner envelope Mr. and Mrs. so and so List other names below (first names only) Jessica, William and Shannon
In regards to the situation with more than one person in the household over 18. If they are in the wedding party and w/ guest, I would send them their own invite. If they are over 18 and no guest put them on the main invite. I hope this helps.
