Wedding announcements or we'd ding invitations should be sent to the groom's friends as well as to those of the brides family, he giving her a list of those he wishes notified. The
 family of the bride or some friends usually direct the announcement cards. If invitations are sent, the bride and family or friends usually attend to the addressing of the en- velopes. There are two. The outside
 one bears the usual correct address seen on mailed letters. The inner one bears the name of the adressee
 and nothing else, the house number, street, city and state being omitted. This custom of addressing the inner envelope seems odd and unnecessary.
