Wedding invitation proper addressing?
November 29, 2009
My wedding invitations don’t have an internal envelope. I wish to invite children to the wedding and reception but I’m not sure of how to say that. Is it ok to address the envelope to each person in the family on the postal envelope? How do you think would be the best way and closest to proper etiquette?
According to wedding etiquette, you should put each persons name that is invited on the outside. Children younger than 18 can be included with their parents names. Children over 18 should recieve their own invitation.
Although and family should only be used on the inside envelope, in this case since you don’t have one if you don’t know everyone’s names you may have to resort to that. (I don’t think anyone will mind!)
Good luck!

How much does a calligrapher cost for wedding invitations?
November 29, 2009
About how much would it cost to have a calligrapher address 100 wedding invitations (front only, no return)? I’m just looking for a ballpark figure.
I should have specified – someone asked my mom to do theirs, and she wants to know what is reasonable to charge. She did mine for free 
$5 an invitation? Geez, that’s outrageous! It’s much cheaper to find someone locally who does calligraphy than to go with one of the internet companies that obviously scams people. ($5 an invite just amazes me. I wouldn’t want to pay that either!)
I’m paying $225 for 150 invitations (outside AND inside envelopes). It works out to be $1.50 per invitation.
wedding invitation wording etiquette ?
November 29, 2009
How do you word a wedding invitation where the bride’s parents are paying for 77% of the wedding and the groom’s are paying for 23%?
the 77/23 split was not intentional, that’s just what they are ending up paying…..
do you think that having their names listed on the invitation as the following is enough?–
mr. and mrs john doe (brides parents)
request the honour of your presence at the wedding of their daughter
jane doe
to
bob smith
son of mr. and mrs. james smith…….
or do you think that having both parents in the first lines are appropriate, given how much more the bride’s parents are paying?
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (brides parents)
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Helen Marie
and
Mr. Raymond Jones
Son of Mr. and Mrs Jones (grooms parents)
OR
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (brides parents)
Along with Mr and Mrs Jones
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of
Helen Marie
and
Mr. Raymond Jones
Wedding invitations?
November 27, 2009
Hi all! When addressing wedding invitations should there be a period after Mr, Mrs etc…?
For example
Mr and Mrs John Smith
or Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Mr. John Smith and guest
or Mr John Smith and guest.
What about Ms. vs Miss? Thanks!
Period after all of them except Miss if you are American. Sometimes other countries do not use the period. And Ms. is NOT for an unmarried woman, it is for ANY woman. Just as Mr. does not tell a person whether or not a man is married, Ms. does not make that distinction either. Miss is for an unmarried woman.
Mrs. and Miss are generally considered more formal, but making the distinction may be considered sexist by some today, so whether to use Mrs., Ms., or Miss really depends on the tastes of people you’re addressing. Older married women will often be quite happy with Mrs., while younger unmarried women may prefer Ms. to Miss.

I am sending out formal wedding invitations. How should I address them? I want for families to know that their children are invited. Do I call everyone Miss, Ms., Mrs. and Mr. or just my their first and last name? Is there a website that answers these questions?
