WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO ADDRESS AN ENVELOPE?
Formal Wedding Invitations should be addressed using formal names and titles.
Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss, Dr., etc. Children do not need titles.
Children 18 and over still living at home should receive their own invitation.
All street names, cities, and states should be spelled out fully, without abbreviations.
For less formal invitations Mr., Mrs., Ms. and Miss can be excluded. Doctors, Clergy,
Judges, and Officers should always have their titles included.
