Step 1:
-
Determine The Status Of Your Guest
-
What is the status of your guest? Does he or she live at home? If there is more than one, what are their ages? It is essential you know the answers to these questions.

Step 2:
-
Determine The Outer Envelope Address
-
OK, there are three children. They all live at home and we know their birth order. On the outer envelope, that's the one the postman will see, you will actually not include the children's names in the address at all. You would address it only to the parents. So you would address it "Mr. & Mrs.", the father's first name and his last name.
-
And remember, no matter how nicely addressed and pretty the invitation is, it will not get there if you send it to the wrong address…so always make sure you have the right address!

Step 3:
-
Determine The Inner Envelope Address
-
Now it's time to address the inner envelope which holds the actual wedding invitation. Here you would first address it to the parents on line one, "Mr. & Mrs." and their last name. On line two you would write the children's first names only, from oldest to youngest.

Take The List To Your Calligrapher To Print
-
When you have finished with your address list all you have left to do is give it to your calligrapher to address the envelopes.

If the cost of hand calligraphy is an issue, keep in mind that many stationery shops offer machine calligraphy which looks very similar to hand calligraphy, but costs much less.
