Reply Card Envelope Address help

Kali, on June 15, 2019 at 10:58 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

So my fiancé and I do not live together and I will be collecting the reply cards at my current address. Is it appropriate then for the address to just be written with my name and not his. Or do I write both of our names on the envelope, even though he does not live there. Not sure on the etiquette on this at all. I'm not sure how his side will handle that, since they may or may not be familiar with my last name. Thanks for the help!

    I would personally put both of your names because they are rsvping to both you and your fiancés wedding!

    I was thinking that, but then I was wondering how the Post Office would handle that.

    I’m in the same situation. I can’t say what I did is etiquette or rude. I didn’t think much of it when I did it. I put only my name with my address. I was going to put his name only if I used his address. If we lived in the same town I would have thought about putting his name on it as well.

    Put both of your names. The post office doesn’t care what it says as long as it has a clear address to deliver to.

    You put the name and address of the person who lives there. Sometimes a parent, or family member, takes care of rsvp's, and they are not sent to either member of the couple, and that is fine too. Where they are sent most often has been only one of the couple , or a third party name and address, if the couple was not living together. That used to be most of the time, and I never heard of a person having trouble with it. You are overthinking things.

    I ordered labels with just our first names and my current address. My FH's step-brother's fiancée got an inked stamp that says "the future Mr and Mrs (new last name)" and used her family address. The post office doesn't care what the name is as long as the address is legible.

    I think just your name is fine.
