Wedding Invitations and Bridal Shoes!

I am currently taking a break from addressing the envelopes of our wedding invitations.  I've been on this task for quite a while now, seven hours to be exact!  

It's just so hard when your guests have titles -- lawyers, doctors, engineers, priests, politicians, judges. I have to stop every now and then and make sure I address the envelope properly.  It becomes doubly hard when the husband and the wife have two different titles, like the wife is a doctor and the husband is a lawyer.  Or if the case is already like that and the children are still invited!

Here's what I have learned:

No titles are used for engineers in addressing invitations.

When the husband is a lawyer and the wife is a doctor, the wife's name comes first and the husband does not have a title.

ex.  Dr.  Ann Santos and Mr. Tim Santos

So you see, I am already having a headache with all of these social etiquette!



But here's something that makes me happy....
.
I bought my bridal shoes yesterday and despite my tiny feet, they fit me!


I can't wait to wear them!

  2. Those invites sound like a bit of a headache. I don't have too many friends with titles so perhaps as and when the time comes it won't be so difficult for me! Keep hanging in there though - you'll be finished in no time.

  3. Awww, I love those shoes!

    I had no idea so much etiquette went into addressing invites! However, for our wedding I don't think we had many people with official "titles" that were invited...so maybe that's why I had no idea..? :-) Good luck with the rest!
