I think writing out 'and' is a bit more formal, but either is fine I think!

Also, some etiquette sites suggest you spell out the state name too.

i liked the '&' sign, that's what I did on mine, I thought it looked fancier. Whatever YOU like!!

I did the first half with the & sign and then read online that 'technically' you are supposed to write everything out in full... So did the second half that way.

Also, little thing that I had NO CLUE about. If you are un-married and you are 18 and over are considered Ms. not Miss.... This is probably common knowledge but I had no clue! So just thought I would share =)

I had mine professionally done and they wrote out all abbreviations including 'and' street, avenue, boulevard, apartment etc, the state gets written out too. Etiquette says there shouldn't be any abbreviations. HTH
