Etiquette simply refers to the manners to use when constructing your wedding invitations.Etiquette will guide you to writing your wedding invitations with style and decorum.In the initial stages of preparing the wedding invitations, you may get baffled. However, it is not very complex to write addresses on the wedding invitation envelopes. This would help you to know the current standing of your guests and would prove a helping hand in knowing your guests in a better way.
Addressing the Wedding Invitations
The wedding invitation envelope should have the title and the invitee’s name and address printed or Penned. You can compose the invitation to be formal or casual.When sending formal wedding invitations to a married couple, the title Mr. and Mrs. should be used before the full name of the husband. Even if they are close relatives, don’t forget your correctness. You should not address them with your relation to them or a nickname. Terms like aunt and uncle are inappropriate for use on formal wedding invitations.
Where couples live together and are not married, you still must use proper etiquette when sending wedding invitations to them. You may use Miss in place of Mrs. before the name of the female and Mr. should used to address the male. This should be done on the envelope and wedding invitation.
When inviting a couple along with their children on the wedding invitation the title and full name of their parents then the first names of their kids could be included below. The envelope however should only be addressed to the parents.It is appropriate to state only the first names of the children on wedding invitations but please don’t use the reference ‘and family’.
You should be polite when inviting single guests. When sending a wedding invitation to a single female, you should use the title Miss before her name. When inviting a single male use Mr. and then their name. If you want the person to bring the guest of their choice, you can add ‘and Guest’ after their name. Be careful while inviting a divorced guest. While addressing a divorced and single female, you can use the name that she has kept, on the invitation envelope. If your divorced female invitee goes by her maiden name, you must entitle her with Miss before here name never entitle her with Ms., as this is bad decorum.
When inviting professional guests, who are a Doctor, Judge, or in the Armed forces; you must state their proper title on the wedding invitation and envelope.
