    Hello bees -- now that I've got your attention, can you help me out to make sure that our save-the-date (and eventually invitation) gets where it's going? Laughing

    The address we've been given (via text message, hence my typographical concern) reads something like the following:

    1234 rear, sesame st.

    Obviously they are in the rear apartment at 1234 Sesame Street. But where do I put the "Rear" in the address? Is it [1234 Rear Sesame Street] (which sounds to me like the street name is "Rear Sesame"), [1234 Sesame Street (Rear)], [1234 (Rear) Sesame Street], or some sort of variation that I haven't identified yet?

    Thanks for any help that you can provide me!

    Oh, do they live on one of those properties where there's a little house behind the main house, or something like that?  I have never heard of it being referred to as the "rear" in the address, though - usually it's 1234 A & B, or the back house has a completely different street number (so 1234 and 1236, for example).  I would ask for clarification - ask them exactly how it's written for post office purposes.

    I googled and this is what came up as some example addresses:



    247 88th Street Rear House


    Stone Harbor, NJ 08247


    1212 S Emerson Rear House

    Denver, CO 80210


    but also found:


    12345 Rear Gilman Street

    San Diego, CA 92130


    I think the above one makes sense because it's saysing that the street address is 12345 and the next designates what part.  Just like some address I've seen are 12345 1/2 Gilman Street.

    I would check with the guest who has that address because it could mean different things! For example, my boyfriend used to live on Parker Street Rear (that was the name of the street, it was behind Parker Street) but it could also be part of the apartment number (like 123 Rear Parker Street). You don't want your invitation to get lost!

    Thanks for the advice, guys! I went with 1234 Sesame Street, Rear Apartment, and I'll have my FI check in with them to make sure they received the save-the-date. (They're his high school friends, otherwise I would have followed up myself before to clarify.) I even spent time on Google Maps street view trying to see whether there was a tiny house or just a back entrance or whatever! Oh, mailings...
