This book is easy to read, easy to use, and easy to understand. It is a complete run down of all the necessary details and niceties to make for a wonderful, memorable wedding. She is not overbearing on the etiquette aspect of a wedding, but gently and kindly explains the effects of doing things in a "proper" way. I have enjoyed reading this and have found it enormously helpful. I would suggest this as the first place to go for wedding advice.
Discover expert advice for every aspect of the wedding - from the engagement period, the budget, wedding invitation etiquette, the rehearsal, the ceremony and reception.
When addressing the outside of invitations, is it
Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Doe
or
Mr. and Mrs. Doe
or Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
??? Thanks!!
And when it is a family, is it
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe and Family
or
Doe Family
?
Hi. I would do it like this:
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe
and
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe and Family

Mr. & Mrs. John Doe, unless they use different last names: then it would be Mr. John Doe and Mrs. Jane Smith.

It is whatever you want it be, whichever looks best to you. If you are having a really formal wedding I would go with the 3rd option, otherwise #2 would is nice too. I think #1 is a little lengthy though. Good luck and congrats!

It doesn’t matter officially that I know of. I am addresing mine differently depending on who they are goin to. For example, my brother and his wife I wrote: Mr. and Mrs. John Doe since she is totally happy and excited to be the "wifey" type. For my fiances brother and his wife I wrote Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Doe since she is more the type who "wears the pants in the relationship." I would say a safe bet is to address them to Mr. and Mrs. Doe.
