Envelope Etiquette
Couples sometimes struggle to make clear whether children or plus-ones are included in a wedding invite. Proper addressing etiquette should eliminate the mystery.
Outer and Inner Envelopers
With a two-envelope suite, the outside envelope (top) is addressed to the primary guests only, regardless of additional invitees. The second envelope reveals more, either including (above) or not (above, left) children's first names or the phrase "and guest."
Single Envelopes
If the invitation suite includes just one envelope, all invitees should be specifically mentioned, including children's names or "and guest."
