So I have a mini sound-off and I don't know where else to turn to but HERE!!!
We JUST booked our RH last week for a June 30, 2012 wedding. I quickly designed awesome STD's, had them rush printed and delivered and I am working during all my free hours to get our list settled. I am just about ready to go and get the STD's stamped, sealed and dropped off over the weekend. As a courtesy, I send the word doc with the address labels to my FMIL of my FH's family and family friends - mostly to make sure I got the names all spelled correctly.
She wrote me back with a few changes - but this one is irking me to no end! She said that I should not address couples with both the husband and wife's name - just the husband.
For example:
Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Doe
She prefers:
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
I know it's small and stupid, but in a lot of cases for MY friends, the female is the actual 'friend' that is being invited, and she happens to be married. Her name should be on the STD/invite. Regardless, I still feel the woman's name should be on there. I admit I am a tiny bit of a feminist..so this rant might fall on deaf ears, but I had to get it off my chest!
