Basic Wedding Invitation Etiquettes You Should Know Part Two

3. Simplicity Is Key  

The entire names of the bride and groom, as well as the hosts, should be in a simple form. The words "no children" shouldn't be included on the invitation, but they're implied by the names on the envelope.

You shouldn't include registry information on the invitation card printing; instead, relatives and guests can ask about it, or you can post it on your website. 

4. Take Part In The Name Game  

The outer envelopes should have your guests' full names written on them. "Mr. and Mrs.," followed by the husband's first and last name, should be used to address married couples. It's also okay to include both full names.

When a woman retains her maiden name, it is written alphabetically: Ms. Bella Stephens and Mr. Gene Williams. Write the names of an unmarried couple who lives together on two lines. 

5. The Titles Should Be Unique  

If the wife is a pharmacist, the full name of the pharmacist comes first, as in "Pharm Sharon and Mr. Bale Williams." If the husband is a pharmacist, the titles should read "Pharm and Mrs."

If both the husband and wife are doctors, the envelope should read "Pharm. Sharon and Bale Williams." A single woman should be addressed as "Ms." unless she is a pharmacist. If she's under the age of 21, say "Miss." 

6.The Time And Date Matters 

Because you want guests to come to your wedding, I strongly suggest you keep to the basics on this line. It's essential to include the time, date, and place. Everything is written out in full, with no numerals, for formal weddings.  

7. The Setting  

In any scenario, the city and state should be written out entirely. I've heard many similar wording recommendations that state the street address of a venue isn't typically needed, but I'll argue that it is optional, and it's never a bad idea to include it.
