Free Wedding Envelope Addressing Generator

Write the guests’ full names with titles on the outer envelope — “Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Marsh” — above the street address, city, state, and ZIP, spelling out words like Street and Apartment on formal invitations. If your suite has an inner envelope, that’s where you name every invited person, including children and plus-ones. The generator on this page applies those rules for you: pick the household type and it writes both envelopes plus the guest-list label.

Yes — it’s free, there’s no sign-up, and it runs online in any browser with nothing to install. Format as many households as you like, keep them in a running list, and export the whole thing as a print sheet or a spreadsheet-ready CSV whenever you’re ready. We built it as a gift to couples, and to introduce you to Text My Wedding — the text-message RSVP and address-collection app behind it.

Envelope wording names your guests — titles, full names, who exactly is invited. The card names the hosts and the couple and never names the guest at all. So the envelope is the piece that tells a family whether their children are included, and the card is the piece that sets the tone; if you need help with the second one, that’s a job for the invitation wording generator rather than this tool.

Put everyone who’s invited on the outer envelope: the adults’ names on the first line and children’s first names on the line below, or “The Vance Family” when the whole household is invited. The plus-one moves up too — “Ms. Nora Feldman and Guest.” Toggle the inner envelope off in the generator and it folds everyone onto the outer for you.

The higher title goes first: “Dr. Maren and Mr. Gavin Holt,” whatever the genders — surname once when they share one. When titles match — or nobody uses one — there’s no rule; alphabetical order or simply how the couple refers to themselves both work. For an unmarried couple at the same address, traditional etiquette stacks the two names on separate lines instead of joining them with “and.”

No — it’s a rules engine, not AI. Every line comes from a fixed etiquette rulebook covering title precedence, name order, and inner-versus-outer placement, so the same household always produces the same envelope and there’s nothing to hallucinate. Where traditions genuinely differ — like how a widow prefers to be addressed — the tool sticks to the conventional form and our guides lay out the alternatives, because that one is hers to choose, not ours.

No — not the names, the titles, the children, or the addresses. The tool is a rules engine rather than AI, it runs in your browser, and your running list is saved to your own device's local storage — the print sheet and both CSVs are built there too, so the names and addresses you type are never uploaded. We do record anonymous, bucketed usage of the tool itself: which scenario and formality you picked, whether an address was filled in, and a rough size band for your list — never a name, an address, or an exact count.

Both, from the same list, because the two jobs want different sheets. The addressing sheet is one row per household with the columns calligraphers and print shops ask for — Name Line 1, Name Line 2, Street Address, Apartment, City, State, ZIP, Household, and Inner Envelope — so one row letters one envelope. The guest list CSV is one row per person and matches the Text My Wedding guest import exactly: First Name, Last Name, Household. There’s also a print sheet if you’re addressing by hand — print it, or save it as a PDF from your browser’s print dialog.

If you’re a guest sending a card to the couple, address the envelope with the names they’re using now — “Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Marsh” if they’ve shared a married name, or both full names joined by “and” if they haven’t. When you’re not sure, both first names — “Tessa and Mark” — is always safe. Inside, congratulations plus something personal beats any formula.

That’s the usual bottleneck — formatting takes minutes, collecting takes weeks. Text My Wedding’s free address collection texts your guests a link, and each reply fills in that household’s mailing address for you, ready to format here or import straight into your guest list. Format the households you have, then collect the rest.
