I need help with wording address and name information on our invitation envelopes! I know you are supposed to write Mr. HisFirstName and HerFirstName TheirLastName, but I have several friends that are single. How do I address their enveopes? Also not every person on our guestlist can bring a date. How can we specify that? Can we write Mr. FirstName LastName and Guest? Will the others who do not have "Guest" after their name understand that they are invited to attend by themselves?

I am trying to make this as easy as possible while trying to aviod confusion and follow etiquette "rules" as much as possible!

Thank you ladies!

For mine, I put each name separetly...for example...

For families:
Mr. John Doe
Mrs. Jane Doe
Mr. Baby Doe
Miss. Baby Doe

For friends with a date:
Mr. John Doe
Miss. Jane Black

For single friends (be careful when using Miss and Ms...Miss is for never married ladies...use Ms if things are more complicated):
Miss. Jane Black

Hope that helps! I just printed my envelopes earlier this week! Handing them all out in April!!!!!

I'm not sure that Mr. Hisfirst and Herfirst LastName is actually correct. It should either be Mr. and Mrs. HisFirstName TheirlastName Or HerFirstName and HisFirstName TheirLastName.
