How do you address wedding invitations to a couple with different last names?

A clear outer-envelope example

For a couple named Jordan Lee and Taylor Morgan, an outer envelope can read:

Jordan Lee
Taylor Morgan

If they prefer titles, use the titles they actually use, such as “Ms. Jordan Lee” and “Mr. Taylor Morgan.” Two lines keep both full names legible. Ask the couple which name order they prefer instead of inferring it from gender or whose name appears first in your contacts.

Names on the invitation define the invitation

If a partner is invited, name that partner when you know their name rather than writing “and guest.” Do not silently add a partner, child, or roommate just because they share the address. Confirm the invitation group first, then format the mailing label.

Formal and informal stationery may call for different wording. Match your envelopes to the couple’s preferences and the tone of your invitation.

Keep the details editable

Record each person separately so a corrected name or preferred title does not require rebuilding the whole list. See how Yours Truly formats inner and outer envelopes and supports custom wording for individual households. Start your guest list when you are ready to organize invitations.
