Inner Envelopes - Inner envelopes have ungummed flaps because they are not meant to be sealed. Address the inner envelope with names only, do not include the address on the inner envelope. First names should only be used by themselves when children are being invited along with their parents. Write the names of children to be invited below the parents’ in order of age. Ex.:
Mr. and Mrs. Stevens
Lisa, Adam and Julia
Outer Envelopes - The outer envelope is slightly larger than the inner envelope and the flap is gummed on the inside for easy sealing. Address the outer envelope using formal names and the complete address. Do not abbreviate. Ex.:
Mr. and Mrs. Steven Johnson
18 Milan Way
Denver, Colorado 80202
Single Outer Envelopes - If you have selected an announcement that does not include an inner envelope, or if you choose not to use your inner envelope, you may follow traditional addressing rules for outer envelopes or create a new way that works best for you. Ex.:
Mr. and Mrs. Steven Johnson
Lisa, Adam and Julia
18 Milan Way
Denver, Colorado 80202
**You can also use our envelope addressing service to have the envelopes addressed. With this service, we print the names and addresses on the inner and outer envelopes from your supplied mailing list.
