Guest with Signif. Other but not Living Together--1 invite or 2?
Just wondering what you all are doing about this situation--where you're inviting a guest and their girlfriend or boyfriend but they don't live together. Are you sending the invite to the primary guest with both names on it or are you sending one invite to each? Thanks!!

I think it's easier to keep track of that way. One place setting card, also it's easier to keep a guest list chart.

I am doing 1 invite to the primary guest and putting both names on it. If you have both addresses, I don't see the harm in doing 2 invites, but it might just be easier to do the 1.
Edited to say: as a person in this position (FH and I don't live together) I would expect only 1 invite with both of us listed.

Of the 23 weddings that FI and I got invited to (and we don't live together), they always have been sent to whomever the person's wedding was was closer to. I think in proper etiquette you send 2 but I am not doing that. Just my two cents!

The outer envelope would say just the one person's name. The inner envelope would have both.

Yep, etiquette says two, but like the other posters I'm just doing one. Outside envelope address to whomever's house it is going to with the inside envelope with both individuals names.

Re: Guest with Signif. Other but not Living Together--1 invite or 2?
I did just one, too. Actually, what we did was, unless they were living together or engaged, we invited the person we were closer to with a guest. (Or unless they've been dating for 10 years or something like that). I am SO glad we did - 3 groomsmen broke up with long time girlfriends between save the dates and invites, which were addressed the same way. Some people get mad when their BF or GF is not on there, but you know what? If their name is on there - technically that person is invited, and then we'd have 3 ex-girlfriends on the invite list.
ETA: This is just my opinion.
