Hi,
The following website has this exact info.: http://www.ehow.com/how_4451_address-wedding-invitations.html?ref=fuel
Below is what is found on this site:
Step 1:
Address the outer envelopes with full names and titles, such as Major and Mrs. John Smith. Avoid abbreviating military titles.
Step 2:
Address the inner envelope without using either person`s first name: Major and Mrs. Smith.
Step 3:
Use the title followed by both full names on the outer envelope if the husband and wife both have the same military rank and service: Captains Mark and Joan Brown. In this scenario, the inner envelope should be addressed to: The Captains Brown.
Step 4:
Include both of their titles and first names on the outer envelope if the husband and wife have different services and different ranks: Captain John and Major Sue Green. For the inner envelope, again drop the first names: Captain and Major Green.
Step 5:
Separate the names on two different lines on the outer envelope, with the woman`s entry appearing first, if the husband and wife who have different services and ranks also have different last names. (First line: Major Elizabeth Cook. Second line: Captain George Black.)
Step 6:
Combine the names on the same line of the inner envelope in this situation, again putting the wife first: Major Cook and Captain Black.
I hope this helps and if you need any help with your invitations, I would love to help.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
