Quick invite question...

When addressing invites, do you write '& guest' on the outer envelope and the inner, or just the inner envelope...Thanks...

Re: Quick invite question...

I believe you put '& guest' just on the inside envelope.

I agree, just on the inner envelope. I did it this way and only confused one person out of 100 invites!

Re: Quick invite question...

'& guest' and '& family' (or children's names) only goes on the inner envelope. I was unsure of this myself, but I double checked some etiquette sites and that is what they said. I also ordered my invitations this weekend, and the woman I ordered them from also said the same thing.

Re: Quick invite question...

you shouldn't use the '&' sign...

write out 'and guest'

Re: Quick invite question...

Get out of here!!!!!!!!!! Oh no...I've done my envelopes wrong then, cause if it was an unmarried couple, I wrote Ms. Marni & Mr. Chris...I just thought it looked nicer....oh well, what can you do! I haven't done the inner yet, so on the inner I'll spell out the word 'and'. Thanks anyway.
