    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
