Put & Guest or their name

I have a girl friend that has been dating her boyfriend for a few years. I am very good friends with the both of them (a little more towards her) and known both for a long time. They don't live together. What should I do about addressing the envelope? I am sending the invite to her.

A. Jane Doe & Guest
B. Jane Doe & John Smith
or
C. Send them separate invites

outside envelope put just her name
inside put both names

only have one envelope - it works to put both names on the envelope make sure the first person is the address you are sending it too

I think if the person has been dating someone for a long time and you know them then both names-much more personal

I agree. If they lived together than I would put both names on the outside envelope.

I think if they are dating for a year or longer, and especially if you are freindly with him, it is only right to address the one envelope to
Jane Doe and John Smith. I think it is insulting otherwise. My FH always says he doesn't care if his name is on the invite, but we got an invitation for one of his friends weddings, and me and FH were dating 2 1/2 years and we hung out with the couple every weekend, and I was not on the invitation. I was very insulted.

But, if you arent close to the significant other, I think either way, Jane smith and John doe or jane smith and guest.

Re: Put & Guest or their name

are they just dating or do they live together? according to 'etiquette' aka-my wedding organizer...an unmarried couple living together should be addressed as follows

Ms. Jane Doe
Mr. John Smith
123 Street
Anytown, USA

with the inner envelope :
Jane & John

but if they are not living together it should be just addressed to the friend on the outside and have both their first names on the inner envelope

That's what I did, too.

Re: Put & Guest or their name

This is what I did but I had an inner & outer envelope. ON the outer I put only couples that lived together or were engaged (Ex: Mr. John Doe & Ms. Jane Doe). If they weren't any of the above I put 1 name on the outer & put both first names on the inner.

If they have been together for awhile & you want to put both their names on the envelope then do it.
