Expert Answer

Usually you'll want to address the head of the household. You'll also address one invitation per household, but if there are any children over the age of 18 living at home who are invited to the wedding, they should get their own invitation.

Question

If I'm inviting some uncles and aunts, do I have to invite all of them?

Community Answer

It is your wedding, invite whomever you want. Some family members may get upset because they felt they were close enough to you to warrant an invitation, but this is your day, so invite who you want and omit the invitations for those you'd probably regret inviting.

How do I address a person when they are Jr.?

Simply write Jr. after the name. That is all you have to do.

Question

How do I address to a household with parents whose adult son is living with them, and all 3 are invited? The son is the closest friend.

Community Answer

Address it as you would anyone else. If the friend has a special part in the ceremony, let them know via a separate conduit. If the friend is especially special to you and it is especially important to you that they come, let them know this via a separate letter or note (or speak to them in person). The invite should simply be addressed to the entire household.
