Glenda Asks: How do you address return labels & reply cards when parents of bride are deceased?

2 Comments...What’s Your Advice?

My sister is getting married and our parents are deceased.  How do we address the invitations and RSVP cards? Do you address everything to the bride and groom as though they are already married, or just put my sister (the bride’s) name?

    If your sister and her soon-to-be-husband currently live together then it’s perfectly fine to have their address on labels and reply cards. For simplicity’s sake I would leave off their last names like this:

    tom + jane
    1234 wedding road
    somewhere, us 12345

    If they live separate, just use your sister’s address.

    Ditto on Amanda’s suggestion. If the couple lives together (and are okay with everyone making that assumption!), then use both of their names on the return & reply address – minus the last name.

    Alternatively, many people completely exclude the name line on the return address, and just use the mailing address:
    1234 Wedding Road | Somewhere, US 12345

    Using only your sister’s name and address would be fine regardless of their living situation.
