Question
What's the difference between inner and outer envelope addressing?
Answer
Formal invitations often use two envelopes, and each follows its own addressing style. The outer envelope is strictly formal. The inner one is warmer and more personal.
| Envelope | Style | What to include |
|---|---|---|
| Outer | Fully formal | Titles, full names, complete mailing address |
| Inner | Relaxed | First names, nicknames, children's names |
If you are using a single envelope, follow the outer-envelope rules and list every invited guest by name so there is no confusion about who is included.
