Guidelines for
addressing invitations
|
|
|
|
Invitations should be hand-addressed,
preferable in black ink. They should be addressed by someone with a neat, beautiful
handwriting, or in calligraphy.
Use no abbreviations except, Mr., Mrs., Dr.,
or Jr.
Symbols should not be used. For
example, write out and rather than use an ampersand.
Initials are not acceptable, Write
"William," not "W". Omit the initial you do not know it.
North, South, East, and West should not be
abbreviated.
Street, Road, Avenue, Boulevard, and
Lane should always be written out, not abbreviated.
States are spelled out in full (for example:
Georgia, not GA).
Figures are used in zip codes and housed
numbers. Numbered streets are written out. For example: Fourteenth Street, not
14thStreet, or One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street, not 125th Street.
Avoid "and family" if possible.
All children over age eighteen should receive a separate invitation.
Invitations should be mailed from four to
six weeks before the wedding.
Mail invitations first-class mail, never
metered mail.
Be sure to include a return address on the
invitations.
Wedding announcements are addressed the same
as invitations, and should be mailed immediately after the wedding.
