Guest names on wedding invitations

[Casamento]

I'm getting married later this year. We're planning to print our invitations ourselves but I've been looking online for inspiration. None seem to have a space for the guests' names?

What do you do to clarify who's invited?

The envelope!

We just wrote ours at the top right corner

Ours definitely had a line to hand write names on.

The envelope!

I thought that but do people really write 6 names on the envelope for a family with 4 DC? And would guests just throw out the envelope?

Don't you just hand write the names at the top of the invite.... it's years since I was married but the format then was

Mr and Mrs X

Request the pleasure of the company of

........... (names to be filled in by hand).

At the wedding of their daughter Minnie to Mr Micky Mouse

I assume it's much more informal these days

'The pleasure of your company is requested at the wedding of X and Y'.

There is surely space at the top of the invite to write the names?

I guess there is often space at the top but most don't come with a line.

This is a random example from vistaprint but most seem to follow the same format. No obvious place for the names.

Are you in the US? That's an American style invite ... but there is still room to write the names at the top (but the Brits won't like the spelling ).

I'm in the UK. I noticed the American spelling but it's from the Vistaprint UK site! Other .co.uk sites seem to have the same style.

If that's not what British invites look like could anyone point me towards a better site!

Full tradition would be an outer envelope with the family name or main invitee name and the address, then an inner envelope listing the specific people invited, with the invitation inside that 2nd envelope.
