How to Address Wedding Invitations to Minor Children
My apologies for asking a question you had already posted an answer to. I researched about 20 pages and did not find anything that related exactly to my question. But right now I am a bit overwhelmed with all the invitation addressing etiquette rules. So, to reiterate, do I understand correctly that the outer envelope would be addressed only to:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
but the inner envelope would be done as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Master Peter Smith
Master Jacob Smith
Is that correct?
Last question: If one boy is 9 and the other is 6, how would I list their names on the inner envelope?
Thank you SO much for your patience and help in this very happy but stressful time.

Dear All4-Her,
It may be best to skip the courtesy titles for the boys, as Master is only used with very young boys--under 7 years old. So, you would be addressing one as Master and the other without a title. It really isn't necessary to use it and may look better not to in this case.
