Having your wedding invites printed in Benoni – or any other area – can be time-consuming, especially if you haven’t yet decided how you are going to address these invites. There are many factors to consider when addressing your invites and when it comes to something as important as your wedding day, it is vital that you do things correctly.
At the end of the day, the way you choose to address your Invitations is your personal preference, however, there are a few tips you can follow to make the process easier. While you don’t want to be too formal, the general consensus is to be a bit more formal (as opposed to too informal) when addressing and wording your wedding Invitations.
3 Considerations for addressing wedding Invitations
- Children. It is important to decide whether or not you will be accommodating children at your wedding. If children are welcome, you can include the words “and family” in the wedding invitation. E.g. “Mr and Mrs Smith & family”.
- Partners. You need to decide whether you will be allowing your single guests to bring partners to your wedding. This will all depend on your budget and what you feel comfortable doing. If you want to invite partners, simply add the words “and partner” after the name of your guest. E.g. “Melissa Roux and partner”. If, however, the partner is a long-standing girlfriend or boyfriend of the guest, it is proper etiquette to include the name of the +1 in the invitation.
- Familiarity. The level of comfort and familiarity you have with your guests will also factor in the way you address their invitation. First names are acceptable for friends and family (depending on how formal you want your wedding to be) but for distant relatives or people of importance, a more formal approach is best.
