Same Sex couple invite

Original post by kater08

My uncle is in a relationship (about 4 yrs) with a man I have never met since they live in Idaho. Of course they are both invited to the wedding, but my parents think I should send seperate invites. I think they should be treated the same as any other couple and placed on the same invite.

Thoughts?

I invited multiple same-sex couples to the wedding and invited them with one invitation. On the envelope I wrote:

Mr. John Smith
Mr. Jack Brown
123 Main Street,
Town, NY 12345


This is what I am going to do.

i think you should send them one invite as a couple just like you would for a straight couple.


Yup...totally agree. They are a couple...plain and simple.

I agree. I have two gay couples I am inviting.
It will read:

Ms Jane Doe
Ms Lisa Smith

I had 2 same sex couples on my invite list and I sent one invite as it was any other couple. Ms....&Ms....

or Mr....&Mr...

I did one invite the same as any other unmarried couple.

The best though was on the response card, where it said M____________ he wrote:

Mrs. John Doe and Joe Schmoe

with a note saying 'This was supposed to be Misters. I swear!' Definitely my favorite response card!

I have like 3 gay couples coming that live together and they are getting one invite per couple. They are couples like any other couple.

I agree with one invite both names on invite but one invite.

Re: Same Sex couple invite

You should definitely include them both on one invite - address it as you would to a couple who is living together but not yet married...

Re: Same Sex couple invite

They should absolutely be sent one invite only

We had several same sex couples invited to our wedding. Since they are a couple, you send one invitation to both of them.

Re: Same Sex couple invite

I would send them on one invitation. I would just put Mr. _____ & Mr. _____ on the envelope. Or you could do just your uncle & guest since you haven't met him yet.

Re: Same Sex couple invite

1 invite definitely.

I'm curious how you would put it on the invite though -
I'm having a same sex couple at my wedding also - women.

Do you put

Ms. Smith and Ms. Jones (formal)

Or

Jane Smith and Veronica Jones. (less formal)

idk I was thinking about that the other day. what is appropriate for the envelope?

It prob doesn't even matter as long as they're both included.
