How should I label my wedding invitation envelopes?

This is going to sound like a silly question but I just can’t seem to come up with a good solution. When sending out my wedding invitations, how should the return address look? We obviously aren’t married yet so it doesn’t make sense to put Mr & Mrs.Smith. But I don’t want to put only one of our names on it…Any idea what the proper way to do this is?

@SeventhSense Crap. I didn’t expect you to be on Fluther tonight! I thought you were going out with the guys…I’m so busted :(

Well ok since you broke my heart, I’ll answer the question. And since the lurking mods won’t allow a silly first answer Ill put in my two cents.
I would say just to use the bride’s address since I think people generally think of wedding invitations as coming from the bride anyway. I don’t think it’s much of an issue though. As long as they have a place to be returned to in the case of undeliverable.
of course you’ll have to add a garter to that avatar as well

Just put the address on it, or your first names as well.

@SeventhSense We already live together so we have the same address anyway. I must have forgot to mention that part. Oops! I’m sorry I broke your heart…You can still be my Fluther husband :)

I think I’ll do what @faye said and just put our first names. Sounds simple enough.

I’d put both of your names.

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

@figbash The problem with both names is that we have really long names…It looks ridiculous.

Why not just use the address? In the past, I think they were often from the bride’s parents.

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

@augustlan Good idea. I guess I always thought it was an unwritten rule that you had to have a name above the address…

@SeventhSense You’re right. What was I thinking! I can barely handle one husband. Two would ruin me! Being a fluther mistress is fine with me ;)

I kind of like @faye‘s suggestion. I think it sounds cute to put something like:

Jane and John
123 Shadow Lane
Our Town, MA, 12345

Just the address is also a valid option.

These are great suggestions. I can’t believe I had to ask fluther such a simple thing but I was really drawing a blank!

You said you had long names so here’s another suggestion of what you could do:

Susan Francis Mary Jones-Smith
Michael Andrew Lloyd-Williams
456 Sunnyvale lane
Springfield, CA 34569

@SeventhSense You should see me in my Santa outfit

SeventhSense's avatar

@ItalianPrincess1217
Ok I will marry you.

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

@SeventhSense LMAO Ok so that chic wasn’t me but I do own that Santa outfit!

Ok well I guess that’s for the best. Giselle is jealous already anyway…“Coming dear”...
