How did you address couple's invitations who don't live together?

I had one couple that didn't live together... she is FH's cousin, and he is a long time friend of mine, so even if they weren't a couple, they'd both have been invited anyways. I sent an invitation to both of them.

For the other issue, I'd address it to Megan and guest with Ashley's name on the second line.

I sent them seperate ones, as they have seperate residences. I'm friends with both. Had I not been friends with them, I'd have probably addressed it to them both by name, but sent it to my friends address.

Mr. Fiances Collegebuddy & Ms. Lady Hesdating.

If you are inviting two specific, unmarried people, I did it like this:

Mr. John Smith

Miss Abigail Johnson

123 John Smith's Address Lane

and any mention of a guest doesn't go on the outer envelope, so that's not a big deal to say 'and guest' on the reply card or inner envelope (i didn't want to waste paper with an inner envelope so I made little tags that I tied on the invitation with lace that had the first name of each guest being invited, or said plus one where applicable

I sent it to just 1 person and addressed to both. I received an invite for myself like that before we lived together.

Thanks, I'll pass this along! My invitations were very informal so it wasn't a huge deal to me

Technically I think they should be invited separately, however we just sent one invitation to the closer friend, and followed the addressing advice of Mrs.Temme.

What purplekitten said unless they haven't been dating that long, then you can invite the person you want "and guest"

If they're coming together, I don't totally see the need for a second invite. But you could. When FH and I were invited to a wedding when we didn't live together, it was addressed to Mr FH and Ms. Me to his house since they were his friends.

For couples that don't live together, what purplekitten said.

For the single mom:

Miss Megan & Guest

Miss Ashley

Address

If they don't live together they *should* both get an invitation, but I wouldn't whine about poor etiquette if it was just send to one person with both names.

I sent one to a couple that did not live together. I addressed it separately as "Ms. blah blah" and "Mr. blah blah" and the address of the girl. He still lived with his parents.

I sent it to the one I knew best with both their names: Ms friend & Mr. Friend's date. Saves postage...clearly they'll talk to each other that the invite came for them to come together.

I have this issue with a few friends, but I'm only friends with/related to one person out of the couple. For them, I'm putting both names on the envelope and using the address of the person I know.

We had a few couples that don't live together. We sent them one invitation, with them both listed, to the house of whoever we are closest with.

I sent them one invitation with both names to one address. I think I only had 2 like that, and the one couple is engaged so I sent it to his address.

I was just wondering this too! The whole planning time I was planning on doing "Friend and Friend's Date," but once I started actually addressing the invites I worried that I shouldn't. You all have made me feel better about it.

But I do also like MrsTemme's suggestion. I hadn't thought of that.

Before FH and I lived together, we would received a bunch of wedding invites, and they were always together, not separate. I guess it would come down to which one of us the engaged couple was closer to -- if they were FH's friends, they would mail the invite addressed to both of us to his place, and vice versa if they were my friends getting married. I always liked that. It made me really happy when we would get mail addressed to both of us, knowing we'd be living together eventually...

Very interesting replies here, thanks! For my own invitations I had worried about what friends would be more upset about if they were in a less serious (but existing all the same) relationship - if I put Friend and Guest, or if I assumed that person was their date and put both names. I ended up doing it a few different ways and no one was upset.

We had a couple that we're both good friends with but they live apart long distance. We sent one to each of them. Couples that we were only close to one of them, we sent to the friend we're close to addressed to both of them by name.
