Outer Envelope (State&Zip)

I am starting to put together my outer envelopes for my invites. When I spell out the State my zip code goes to the next line.

Has this happened to anyone? Should I leave the City, State on one line and the zip on the next? Or, Should I leave the city on one line and the State & Zip on the next?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I guess you're not suppose to abbreviate the outer envelope...I heard you're suppose to spell out the state on the outer envelope & abbreviate the rsvp envelope.

ok , i just posted a thread on here not too long ago. .
i spelled out the entire city, and state
and put the zip code underneath it (centered)
and i made the zip code font a little bigger.. they look awesome!!

Thank you so much for all your help

Are you actually spelling out the state? Can you just abreviate? ex. NY or NJ

For a formal invitation you're supposed to spell out the state. You're also supposed to spell out Street, Avenue, etc.

Of course only crazy brides know these etiquette rules so don't worry about it!!

I always put the zip code on a separate line, even when I hand address a regular letter.

example.

Mr. & Mrs. Joe Blow
123 Summer Street
New York, New York
10020

or

Mr. Joe Blow
Ms. Jane Doe
123 Summer Street
New York, New York
10020

Ok, it didn't work the way I typed it, but when I do it it the zip code would be under the second 'York' under the state.
