Many modern couples skip them. If you use only one envelope, address it with the same formality you would use for the outer envelope, and include all invited guests&#8217; names (or &#8220;and Guest,&#8221; &#8220;and Family&#8221;) on the single envelope.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I spell out state names or use two-letter abbreviations?<\/h3>\n<p>For the most formal invitations, spell out the state name: &#8220;South Carolina&#8221; rather than &#8220;SC.&#8221; For semi-formal and casual invitations, two-letter postal abbreviations are fine. The USPS preference is actually the abbreviated format for deliverability, so many couples use abbreviations regardless of formality.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I use &#8220;Miss&#8221; or &#8220;Ms.&#8221; for single women?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Miss&#8221; is the traditional honorific for an unmarried woman, especially one under 18-25. &#8220;Ms.&#8221; is the contemporary-neutral honorific that does not indicate marital status &#8211; preferred by many adult women. When in doubt, use &#8220;Ms.&#8221; &#8211; it is universally appropriate.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I address an envelope to a couple who are not married?<\/h3>\n<p>List both names on the outer envelope on the same line (if they share an address). Alphabetical order by first name is the neutral choice. &#8220;Ms. Claire Bennett and Mr. James Hollis&#8221; or &#8220;James Hollis and Claire Bennett&#8221; are both correct for an unmarried cohabitating couple.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I do not know someone&#8217;s preferred honorific?<\/h3>\n<p>Use their first and last name with no honorific. &#8220;James Hollis&#8221; with no &#8220;Mr.&#8221; is completely acceptable on modern invitations and avoids any potential misgendering or incorrect title. Alternatively, ask a mutual friend or contact the guest directly.<\/p>\n<h3>Where does the return address go?<\/h3>\n<p>The traditional placement is centered on the back flap of the envelope. Top-left front is also widely used and more compatible with USPS automated sorting (return address must be visible on the front for machines to read it). Either is correct &#8211; choose based on your envelope design.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I print envelope addresses instead of handwriting them?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, and for larger guest lists it is practically a necessity. Paperlust&#8217;s Address Manager tool allows you to import guest addresses from Excel or Google Sheets and prints addresses in a coordinated font. This is available as an add-on to your wedding invitation order for approximately $0.20 per address.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I address an invitation to a family when I only want to invite the parents?<\/h3>\n<p>Name only the parents on the outer envelope and the inner envelope. Do not use &#8220;and Family.&#8221; The inner envelope convention is clear: only the names listed there are invited.
