If I am friends with someone but I don't know the rest of their family, would I send the invitation with their spouse and their family on it or just them? For example, if I knew Ann Smith, would I send the invite as:
Mr and Mrs Ann Smith
or...
Mrs Ann Smith
and not include their spouse? June 18, 2005!!!!!!!!

Re: [wedding_crazed] Another question about etiquette...

Dear Another Question,
You wouldn't write Mr. and Mrs. Ann Smith. It is a strange rule for these days, but a woman can still be addressed by her husband's name. A man is never addressed by his wife's name--Mr. Ann Smith.
So, if you don't know his first name, you would write: Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It would be best to find out his name though. And, yes. You have to include a spouse.
Another question about etiquette...
Thanks!
