Also, when writing our names do I write The Future Mr & Mrs. Williams or The Future Mr & Mrs. Sean Williams?

(Names are random and not our real names - just wanted to use them as an example).

Thanks!

    Me. And Mrs. John Smith is the traditional formal way to address envelopes. If your wedding isn’t formal or traditional then do not worry about having to use that method!

    Yeah... if I got something addressed to my household as "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" that wasn't from someone that FH knew and I didn't, i'd be a bit put off, whether it's traditional or not. To me, that's right up there with "and Guest" if the couple is married. If you dropped the man's first name (if they both have the same last name) or just added both of their first names I think you would be able to find a happy medium that all of your guests would appreciate.
