Come indirizzare buste doppie per inviti di nozze

Quick Answer

Address the outer envelope formally with full names and titles, and the inner envelope more casually with just first names or titles and last names. Double envelopes add a layer of elegance and protect your invitation suite.

Step-by-Step Guide to Addressing Double Envelopes

1. Step 1: Address the Outer Envelope: Write the guest's full name and address on the outer envelope. Use formal titles (Mr. and Mrs., Dr. and Mrs.) and spell out street names, city, and state. Include your return address on the back flap. Common mistake: using abbreviations like 'St.' instead of 'Street'—always write them out for formal events.
2. Step 2: Address the Inner Envelope: On the inner envelope, write only the guests' names—no address. For married couples, use 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' or just first names if you are close. For single guests with a plus-one, write 'Ms. Johnson and Guest'. Common mistake: addressing the inner envelope too formally—remember it should be more casual than the outer.
3. Step 3: Assemble and Insert: Place the inner envelope face up with the invitation suite inside (no hand-writing showing). Insert it into the outer envelope so the inner envelope's names face the back flap when removed. Checkpoint: ensure the inner envelope is not sealed—only the outer envelope gets sealed and stamped.
