Hi!
You should always spellout everything on the envelope, except for Mr., Mrs., Miss. Also, when possible the apartment # should be on the same line as the street address. If not it takes longer for the post office to process it.
Example:
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
123 Main Street, Apartment 1
Anytown, New York 00000
I agree with Chela429. The only abbreviations I used for the invitations were the titles Mr. and Mrs.
For the save the dates, I was less formal and consistent. I wasn't as tuned in to the the addressing rules (and had not found the weddingbee) when I sent those out. Personally, I think that STDs can be more informal.
Good luck!
Oh God, I would never spell out A-P-A-R-T-M-E-N-T on an invite!!!
Cute shortcut? "Unit"
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
123 Main Street, Unit 1
Anytown, New York 00000
I just checked Martha Stewart and this is what she had to say:
<span class="subhead-level1">Addresses
Spell out all words in an address on your envelopes. Rather than "St.," "P.O. Box," and "Apt.," use "Street," "Post Office Box," and "Apartment." This applies to city and state names as well; instead of abbreviations, write "Saint Paul, Minnesota," and "Washington, District of Columbia." House numbers smaller than twenty should also be spelled out.
I'm thinking of spelling out Apartment in the invites but not the STD.
