I think you should use your first and last name as it stands now, but I didn't ask Emily Post so I don't know what's "proper". Using your first name and his last name would imply that you are already married... If you wanted to make it equal as far as names go, you could put "smith and johnston wedding" and then your address. A little less personal but it works.
I think "smith and johnston wedding" might work. I want to include both of us (instead of just my first name, last name) but not imply that we're living together.
I just put my first name, his first name, my parent's address. Or at least that is what the person who did my stationary suggested
I dont know if it's "proper" but I wanted to just write our names (no last names), maybe that's way too casual hehe
I think the proper thing to do is to have them addressed to your parents, at least when traditionally they are the sponsors of the wedding.
@ LorennaL: Oh wow, I wouldn't have even thought of that. My parents are paying a fair chunk of the price, but they're not really fully "sponsoring" it. I guess I could just put their (my) lastname only...
I'm still kinda stuck between wanting either just his and my first names or his and my last names, but am still wondering if that would make it sound like we live together.
Actually you don't need to put a name for the return address. For the STDs, I put my address because I was mailing them out/managing the guest/address list--if we had anything wrong, I wanted them to come back to me so that I was aware. But the post office doesn't require a name on a return address, and traditionally one isn't included, which should make things easier for you. :)
You only really have to worry about names for the return address on your RSVPs. What seems to work best is to include the return address on the invites for whoever is hosting the wedding, and the reply address for the RSVPs as whoever is managing the guestlist.
Save the dates (from what I believe) dont really have to reflect who is paying/hosting the wedding. The Return Address is essentiall there just in case something happens and the post office can't deliver them. I would just put the address, you really don't even need to add names.
Okay, thanks everyone. I will probably just put the address... but, that being said, what will we do for the actual invitations when it's supposed to be more formal?
We're having them addressed to my parents (and sent to their house) because they're hosting. :)
I was wondering about this too! I think we're using his name, my name, my parents' address (I live at my parents house and he lives at his).

Hey guys, I'm just about to start seriously working on our save the dates. (I bought stardream paper today, and I'm so excited.) I was just wondering... for those of you not living together: what did you put as the return address???
I am currently living at my parents' house, and I think I'll use their address, but what should the name be? I was thinking "my last name & his last name" or "my first name & his first name", but would that imply that we live together? To avoid confusion to some family members who might be concerned, is there a better way to word it?
Thanks ladies!
