How do you nicely put 'Invite Only' on your inner envelope labels?

Yes, put down the specific names of the people you want invited or alternately if there are people you don't mind having plus ones make sure you put down something like "two seats have been reserved in your name" so they know not to invite the whole town. Hope this helps.

Yes, include the specific names of the people you are actually inviting. If you are inviting a single cousin and you don't want her brining a plus one you should word her invite to say something like "one seat has been reserved in your name" so she knows a date is not allowed. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks! Is the wording to rude or snooty?

For couples who aren't married, I'm thinking about putting:

Invitation For:

Joe Michaels and Michelle Green

And for individual people I'm thinking:

Invitation For:

Joe Michaels

Or should I put "Invitation Only For"

I hate the "two seats have been reserved..." It seems over the top. We didn't have a single person RSVP with an extra guest. I did have people ask me via text/facebook, but not on the RSVPs. I had an outside envelope that said "The Smith Family" or "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and then the inside envelope said "John and Jane."

I don't think you even need the "Invitation for" bit, and definitely not "Invitation ONLY for." Putting specific names on the invite is the indication of who is invited.

I put their actual names on the rsvp card of who was invited and then put ___ seats have been reserved… with the number who it was for. So far no one has added someone who wasn't invited.

I wouldn't put "invitation is only for". It doesn't really fit on an invitation IMO.

I agree - "invitation for" doesn't quite sound snooty, but it seems pointless. Just put specific names down.

Thanks for the input ladies!

I already have my response cards printed out. I am going to put the names for the invited on the inner envelope (on a clear envelope) and have them write the names of those who can make it to the wedding on the RSVP card.

I'm really not meaning to sound like a jerk, but aren't most weddings invite only?

I wouldn't put "invitation ONLY for", but definitely put their names to send across the message that it is just them that are invited

@Christina B. Usually weddings are invite only BUT that doesn't stop people from being rude and bring other guests (without asking).

All weddings are invite only. I've never heard of a wedding that was open to anyone.

Put their names. That's all that's needed. If people RSVP and add extra people then call them up and tell them that the invitation was only for X person/people.

You just need to put their names on the outer and inner envelopes. That indicates the people invited. I seriously can't believe people think weddings are a free for all and they can bring anyone, but if you honestly believe your family and friends will do that, then put "2 seats have been reserved for you" or something similar on the RSVP card.

I have never seen a wedding that wasn't invitation only so I really don't think that needs to be stated.

Honestly, what I have learned is that if someone is that clueless then nothing you do will get the point across. Just address the inner envelope to those who are invited, and deal with the outliers who go rogue on a case-by-case basis.
