Do you have to put Mr. and Mrs. on wedding invitations?

Titles on wedding invitations are not required. You can address guests by their full names without a title, for example "Alex Smith" or "Sam and Jordan Brown". This is common for friends, younger guests and anyone who does not use a traditional title. For older relatives or formal occasions, you might prefer to use Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., or other titles, but it is entirely your choice.

If you do use titles, remember that not everyone fits the Mr. and Mrs. pattern. Use Ms. for women who do not state a preference, and ask guests how they wish to be addressed if you are unsure. For same-sex couples, use the titles each person prefers, or just their names. For guests with professional titles like Dr. or Reverend, use those if they normally use them.

The key is to be consistent and respectful. If you are inviting a family, you can write "The Smith Family" or list each person's name. For an unmarried couple living together, put both names on the same line. The most important thing is that your guests feel welcomed and recognised, not that you follow a strict rule.
