addressing invites question

[kimberlina13]

My boss is a woman, and I''m going to invite her husbadand as well, although I''ve never met him- I feel funny listing her husband''s name first, since I''ve never met him...

Have any of you run into this?

I have and I''m almost positive I''ve violated some etiquette rules by addressing the person I''m closest to first. Although, I''ve only done that when the man and woman had two different names. I put the one I knew best on top and then the other underneath.
Like this:
Mrs. (or Ms.) Jane Smith
Mr. John Doe

When it was a Mr. and Mrs. same last name, I did follow the rules and write "Mr. and Mrs. John Doe".

Sorry, probably not much help!

If you have an inner and an outer envelope-
the outer envelope should be addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Hisname TheirLastName

if she kept her maiden name, then I believe it would be Ms. Hername HerLastname and Mr. Hisname Hislastname

if they live together and are unmarried, it''s one under the other, with her name first (no "and" connecting)
Ms. Hername Herlastname
Mr. Hisname Hislastname

As for inner envelopes, I probably violated some etiquette but I used firstnames only, putting the woman first.
Actually we didn''t have inner envelopes, but I used personalized RSVP cards
hope that helps
