I just started addressing STD's and on the second one I'm stumped. So Bee's, did you address it "plus guest" or just to the person. didn't know id the rules were different or not. Thanks

We just sent it to the main person, even if we knew that they had a girlfirend/ boyfriend, and on the couples living together we put both names. On the invitations though, I think we'll write names of boyfriends/ girlfriends, but we're not doing bring a date if you're not in a relationship.:) If you're doing inner envelopes for invites I would just address it to the single person on the outside and on the inner envelope I'd say John Smith and Guest :)

For save the dates? Unless the couple is married or living together you don't need to address the save the date to the "plus one", just the person you're inviting. Of course, if you're very good friends with them both you could always opt to send them both save the dates.

Oh - and one thing I didn't realize until I got engaged - linking two names with "and" indicates they are married. So if they live together, both names should go on separate lines (unless of course it is a same sex couple you would otherwise consider married laws permitting).

For your actual invites, if you're doing inner envelopes you can put both names.
