How do you seal and send wedding invitations? Invitations should be sent by hand, preferably in black ink. They must be addressed by a person having a clean house, good writing, or calligraphy.
Do not use abbreviations, except Mr., Mrs., Dr. or Jr.
The symbols must not be used. For example, write, and rather than use an ampersand.
Initials are not acceptable, write "William", not "W". Skip first you do not know.
North, South, East and West should not be abbreviated.
Street, road, avenue, boulevard, and Lane should always be written, not abbreviated.
States are in full (eg Georgia, not GA).
The figures are used in postal codes and numbers housed. numbered streets are written. For example: Fourteenth Street, not 14thStreet, or one hundred twenty-fifth Street, not 125th Street.
Avoid "and" family if possible. All children over eighteen years of age should receive a separate invitation.
Invitations should be sent four to six weeks before the wedding.
mail invitations first class mail, mail never measured.
Remember to include a return address on the invitations.
The inner envelope
The inner envelope unsealed does not include names. It is considered a NONO to write "and family". If you do not know and can not find the names of children, then go ahead and do what you need. Roommates are each their own and so do your cousin and his friend. It is considered impolite to address an invitation to "Miss Mary Brown and the user".
SHIPPING AND PACKING
Fold your invitations in half or quarters for the type you have purchased and place the cloth against the print so that words will not stain. All other enclosures (response card, map, etc.) are placed in a bend in the invitation. Put the invitation in the envelope that has no lips glued. Take the unsealed envelope and put it in the envelope addressed to the wrong side with the name facing the back of the envelope addressed. Are you still with me, do not forget to put your return address and postage on the reply card!
Blondie Ok, you can put the deal, operate through a printer or use labels. For sealing, you can lick or go to staples for a sponge to make it faster .... You can add a sticker on the back or use a wax seal to the old.
Hope this helps!
Make sure you check all spelling errors first! D'oh!
Try going to www.theknot.com. It varies by type of marriage, etc.
dude, you can let your husband know that you have a problem with this .... marriage may be disabled.
I think that's what you ask
Address them as if you address the inner envelope
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Mr. John Smith and guest
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and family
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
Mary and Susan
You must ensure you address the invitation to exactly who is invited, since you do not have the inner envelope to tell them.
Hope this helps.
this site explains it very well:

However you want! It's your wedding if you do what you want. My fiance and I went for a circular label with our first name initials on it - L & P - bonded to the seal of the envelope. This has been our choice, we were pleased with her and all those who have received their thought, they were great as well
