Graduation

When addressing a graduation invitation when the whole family is invited. How do you address the outer and inner envelopes? I would assume you would put Mr. And Mrs. R. U. Smith on the outer, but do you list their names again with the children on the inner envelope? Thanks

C,
As is true with any formal invite, graduation invites should be addressed as follows:
(outer) Mr. And Mrs. John Jones
Miss Katie Jones
Mr. Tommy Jones (unless the boy is elementary age, then it is
"Master")

(inner) Margie and John Jones
Katie Jones
Tommy Jones

Note that on the inner envelope, the woman`s name is first. When you are writing first names the woman is always first.
