making address list for calligrapher.......

Ok I know this has probably been asked before, but is there a right way to do this?

on the outer envelope, is it:

Mr. & Mrs. John Doe
123 Easy Street
NYC

OR

Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
123 Easy Street
NYC

Or is just a matter of personal preference? I kind of like the '&' (especially since I'll be using a scrolly font)

And on the inner envelope....should it be:

Mr. & Mrs. Doe

OR

Mr. & Mrs. John Doe

OR

John & Jane Doe

Or is this again just your preference???

Maybe I shouldn't start these things when I'm tired.....I get easily confused!!

I did the & and I LOVE the way it turned out. I personally don't like the 'and.' Glad you are finally getting your butt in gear with your invites!!!!

and the inner is Mr. & Mrs. Doe.... no first names... and if it's and family, then you can write Mr. & Mrs. Doe and Family, that way you don't have 2 &s...

how weird I just called my invitation place and asked the same question today. She said you are supposed to write out the and instead of using '&' and you are supposed to write out apartment, boulevard, avenue, etc.
