How to Address Wedding Invitations

Now the first question you need to ask yourself when it comes to how you should address your wedding invitations is do I want to address my guests formally or do I want to address them informally.

For a little advice, address your weddings based off of how you want the setting of your wedding to be.

If you want to have a formal wedding then address your guests formally on your invitations and if you want more of a laid back, informal wedding then address your wedding guests casually. 

Once you have decided which way you want to address your wedding invitations, down below there are examples for both methods on how you should properly address your wedding guests on their wedding invitations.
