I met my fiancé four years ago when we were partners in our mutual friends’ wedding. We are both from Pittsburgh and moved to Colorado together three years ago. We absolutely love life in the Rocky Mountains and spend our time hiking, visiting breweries, and spoiling our Great Pyrenees, Moe.

Happily married 🎉

Addressing save the dates
Cara in Etiquette and Advice, on September 4, 2018 at 11:24 PM

Hi all, Just wondering on proper etiquette for addressing save the dates. If the person is getting a plus one, do I address the STD with their name and guest?
