one more title question: Ms vs Miss?

If an unmarried guest is a little older (55) would you address her invite Ms or Miss?

What about an unmarried guest in her mid-late twenties.. Ms or Miss?

I think any unmarried lady, at any age, is Miss. If they are divorced it is Ms.

I guess Ms. for the slightly older guest. I originally had Miss for all of my unmarried friends my age, but am considering changing them all to Ms.

I put Ms. for anybody in their 20s and older...

That's what I was going to do.. so nix the Miss altogether then?

Ms. is more of a professional title for unmarried women and should be used for older woman.

I used Miss. for anyone under the age of 20.

It's actually college age and younger is 'Miss', anyone older than that is 'Ms.'

I always thought Ms. was only for people who were divoriced. See what we learn from LIW!!!!

Miss is for younger girls, Ms. is for a guest you would consider a woman not a girl

Miss is unmarried regardless the age, and Ms. is for divorce or widowed.

Re: one more title question: Ms vs Miss?

Ms. is actually for any woman (whether they are married, unmarried, divorced or widowed). It is considered a more 'formal' or business fashion of addressing a female. Miss is for definitely single women and Mrs. for people definitely married. Since Mr. doesn't designate a marital status, that is how Ms. was formed...to have a title for a woman that doesn't designate marital status.

They say that you should address women as ms unless you know they prefer miss or mrs.

I addressed everyone as Ms on my invitations.
