The correct way to address wedding invitations

October 13, 2011 · Print This Article

The stress of planning a wedding can be felt months in advance as there are so many choices and decisions to make – most couples think that they will never finish in time. An important part of the actual wedding is the wedding invitations you send out to your guests as they normally set the tone of the impending wedding. It may not sound like a big deal but it is important to address the invitations correctly as it gives them a more personalised feel. Consider the following:

  • Single guest with no children. Address the person by writing out their title, full names, surname as well as street address in full.
  • Couple with different last names and no children. Address both of the guests names, titles and home addresses (if applicable) in full.
  • Couple with the same last name and children. Start with addressing the couple (Mr. and Mrs.) where after you can add “and family” to indicate that their children are in fact welcome at the wedding.
  • Single guest with children. Address the guest in full and follow up with “and family”.

How long in advance should you send out wedding invitations?

Always remember that you want the highest turn out possible at your wedding. This is why your wedding invitations should be sent out well in advance to give your guests ample time to respond, organise their schedules as well as travelling arrangements. Aim to get your wedding invitations to your guests at least two months in advance.
