Quick Invite Addressing Question

For a formal wedding, on a formal invitation, it it proper to write the full words of a numbered street address?

#1
123 Ninety-Eighth Street

or

#2
123 98th Street

I am leaning towards #1 - I think it looks nicer. I am simply not sure of the etiquette.

Re: Quick Invite Addressing Question

any number twelve or under is written out as are the state names.

Five Smith Street
New City, New York 11111

for an address that is all numbers my calligrapher told me to use something like this

80-97 110th Street
New City, New York 11111

but

Ten 110th Street
New City, New York 11111

We had our calligrapher write out any numbers that are one word...i.e. any numbers from 1 to 20, and all the tens (ten, twenty, thirty, forty, etc...)

Thanks guys. I knew about the under 12 thing though I thought it was under 10 - single digits. Oh well. I am nowhere near invite addressing yet. I would just like my guest list to be correct so I dont have to worry about it later. I am having formal engraved invitations and want to do the right thing.

Our invites are balck tie on letterpress paper and we used the crane's blue book on addressing invites. My stationary vendor gave me a copy of the relevant pages.

Thanks. Good thing that the etiquette section at Barnes and Noble is right next to the wedding section. As if getting married would make me proper.
