Just before Thanksgiving, The Green Kangaroo was named to the University of Georgia’s inaugural 100 Fastest Growing Bulldog Businesses list! TGK co-founder, Melissa Windley, and her husband are proud alumni of the University of Georgia, making this tremendous honor doubly sweet for our in-house Bulldawg!

TGK was selected out of more than 400 companies nominated from across the U.S. and had to meet a specific set of criteria to even be considered for this distinction. Though we think we’re proudest of the recognition that our company operates in “a manner consistent with UGA’s ‘Pillars of the Arch’ character statement” reflecting wisdom, justice, and moderation.

Q: I understand that wedding invitations typically include both an inner and outer envelope, but I’m confused about the difference. How should I address each envelope?

A: Wedding stationery is unlike any other mailed correspondence. Its uniqueness of design and packaging tells the recipient that they’ve received something special! One of those unique elements is the inner envelope. Originally used to protect invitations from dirt, water, and the eyes of messengers back in the days when correspondence was hand delivered, the inner envelope serves a more social purpose today. While the outer envelope is used for the guest’s name, address, and postage, the inner envelope is addressed simply with the names of each member of the household invited to your wedding.

The key purpose of this social standard is to clearly indicate who is invited so that there is no confusion for your guests. For example, if you are choosing to invite a married couple but are not including their three children, you would address the envelopes as follows:

Outer Envelope: ‘Mr. and Mrs. Bartholomew Guilders’ Inner Envelope: ‘Mr. and Mrs. Guilders’ or ‘Bart and Bitsy Guilders’

And if you did want to invite the children, the inner envelope would read: ‘Bart and Bitsy Guilders’ on the first line and ‘Betsy, Tacy, and Tibb’ on the second line

At TGK, both inner and outer envelopes are always included in the cost of every invitation!
