Label help for invitations!!!

I just bought clear 2x4 labels to do the outside of the invitations. But, now I need labels for the inner envelope, right? Should I get smaller labels since all that needs to go on there is their names? HELP!

I just thought of something else... when someone is widowed, my mother seems to think you address the envelope as follows: Mrs. John Smith (using the deceased husbands first name). I found a website that says you can do it using either his name OR hers, depending on what the person prefers to be called. What did you girls do in this case?

You mean you didn't write anything at all on your inners? Hm I didn't even think of that option...

I have only received like one invitation where this was done, I actually didnt even think to do it to be honest.

I did put them on the inner envelope so that I could address people in the 'fun way' we know them.

Example - my dad's friend Nick...on the outer envelope - it was the stuffy: Mr. Lomuscio & Family.....but on the inside - on the inner envelope - Nick the Moose & Diane (how we've always known them).

It allowed us to have a more 'friendly' vibe to the invites & people laughed at seeing their nicknames on their invites and knew they were in for a nice and relaxed wedding.

That is SUCH a cute idea, Jess! And I just read your other post, too, with the other things you did - LOVE IT!

Thanks for your help!

Very welcome! It's always cute to do something unexpected. NO ONE expects to see their nickname staring at them on a wedding invite - and so many people told us that they had never seen it before, etc.. :)

Happy to help!

So if you didn't have anything on the inner envelope, did you just address it to Mr. Doe and Guest on the outer envelope?

I didnt do labels but I did do writing on the inner envelope too.

Also for our widowed people we just Mrs. Jane Doe. And a few we messed up an did Ms. - Woops!

I didn't do anything with my inner envelopes but with regards to your widow question, I had a widowed aunt and I addressed hers as Mrs. Jane Smith (Smith being the married name obviously).
