On outer envelopes, you write the name and address. For example:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
123 Main Street
New York, NY
On the inner envelopes, you simply write who you are wanting to specifically invite. For example, with a family you would write on the inner envelope the names of the children as well:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Bobby, Timmy, Ashley, and Lisa
If you are inviting someone that is single, on the outer envelope you would write:
Mr. Dan Miller
123 Main Street
New York, NY
On the inner envelope of a singe person, it is common courtesy to let a single person bring a date:
Mr. Dan Miller and guest
BASICALLY, outer envelope is for the address and inner envelope simply states exactly who you are inviting.
I totally agree.
If you are having a less formal wedding, it is totally acceptable to use less formal names on the inner envelope, but you should still use the formal address for the outer. Example:
Outer Envelope: Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
Inner Envelope: John, Jane, kid 1, and kid 2
