Tacky wedding "invitation"

I actually think that might be correct, etiquette-wise. It's sort of awkward to put Miss Mary Smith & Mr. John Jones on an invite.

Now, that would be for the outer envelope, right?

Yes, but inner envelope would say "Mary & John".

I also agree with KSigkid on the inviting people you know can't come. I had some friends who said they could not come, so I told them I wouldn't send them an invite. However, my family members I sent invites to anyway b/c they would have been offended if I didn't. They didn't see it as fishing for gifts - it all depends on your situation.

No, really? I had absolutely no idea! OMG I am the least smrtest person EVER!1!

The original assertion was about the inner envelope, but GP quoted information from Post about the outer.
