It guides us in how relate to others with common courtesy and respect in social situations. Etiquette also serves to make your guests feel welcome.  \nSince weddings range from very formal to casual affairs, we are presenting this Addressing Etiquette Guide in three styles:  \n1. Impeccable (Very Formal)  \n2. Proper (Correct)  \n3. Informal (Casual)  \nBrides and their families can choose which level of formality they wish to convey on their wedding invitations, place cards, and escort cards.  \nSocial vs. Professional Standards  \nWeddings are social occasions, so the rules outlined in this guide refer to how to address  \nenvelopes for such occasions. Addressing etiquette for professional occasions may be different.  \nWedding Invitation Envelopes – One Envelope or Two?  \nWedding invitation suites will either include an outer/inner envelope set or a single outer envelope. Most square invitations only come with one outer envelope.  \nThe outer envelope’s purpose is to convey the invitation to the address where the guests reside. It is addressed to those who are the owners or renters of that residence.  \nThe inner envelope’s purpose is to state who is actually invited to the wedding. Therefore, additional guests, escorts, children or other adults are written only on the inner  \nenvelopes. If a person or child is not listed on the inner envelope, then etiquette states that he/she is not invited to the wedding.  \n©2016 PenDance Calligraphy & Engraving LLC ~ All Rights Reserved Page 3  \nAll of the invitation pieces will be placed in the inner envelope, which is then slipped names-side-up into the outer envelope.  \nIf you have chosen not to use inner envelopes for your invitations, then your outer envelopes must list all the names of those invited to the wedding.  \nBefore You Assemble the Invitations  \n• If you would like to personalize each reply card with the names of your guests (so they don’t have to write it themselves), ask your stationer to design the RSVP card with several lines to allow for writing in their names. Then you won’t have to use the “M” or “Names” text at the beginning of the blank line.  \n• Addressing envelopes can take quite a bit of time, but the good news is that it can easily be delegated! Hire a professional calligrapher or enlist the help of friends and family with neat, legible handwriting, to allow you to spend time on other wedding details!  \n• If hiring a calligrapher, secure one as soon as possible since many calligraphers can book up weeks or months in advance.  \n• If you are hiring a calligrapher, plan to order 10-15% extra envelopes to allow for errors, address changes, forgotten guests, relationship changes, etc. It’s less expensive to order extras when placing the order than doing it later, especially if there is a time crunch.
