How to address save the dates

Keep in mind that just because you send STDs that doesn't mean she'll change her mind on getting married the same day.

What is your definition of informal? Like writing versus typing. I plan on writing my addresses in. I think it gives it a more personal touch.

@MMB yeah I know, and I don't care anymore. If she's going to be a b!tch and do that, then whatever.

@melissa j - informal as in addressing it Uncle Larry, Aunt Tina, & family vs Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

I addressed mine fairly informally (for example "John and Mary Smith") but I don't know if that was technically the right way to do it.

Oh well in that case I plan on dropping the titles. So... Mary and John Smith

Ok @Kelly & @Melissa, even for aunts and uncles?

Who had the date first? Someone should have changed their date. People probably have in mind who they will support. That sucks!!

I addressed mine as Mr and Mrs, even for my siblings and aunts/uncles. I did use "the Smith family" for families where we're inviting their children as well.

You can absolutely address them informally!

I addressed mine informally - just first names if it was a couple and full name of it was an individual. I did add "uncle" before a few uncles that it would be weird to use their full name .. and I said Mom and Dad on my ones to my parents!

@Brandi G - me! I've been engaged since september 25, 2015. She just got engaged 2 months ago but "apparently" they started thinking about it before she actually got the ring.

I ended up printing mine on white address labels in a pretty font. We both have terrible handwriting, so it came out much nicer than it could have. Most were addresses to Mr and Mrs so and so. I did have one that I was unsure of her boyfriends last name, so it just was sent to Misty and John. I don't think STDs are as formal as invitations, so I was ok doing that.

I made the labels for mine Formal so that I dont have to make another list for my invites.

Whatever I send my relatives, I never write Aunt, Uncle, etc. on the outside of the envelope. So it's either Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

or

Mrs. Jane Munn-Smith and Mr. John Smith

It felt totally weird and out of character for me to put Mr. and Mrs. on the STDs but for the invites I will be more formal.

Depending on your guest list I would recommend hand addressing your STDs and invites. I always feel more special when I receive something hand-written, rather than a label. If you have bad hand-writing or have too many, I would print directly on the envelope rather than a label.
