Rules for a wedding invitation

For those of you who are here to read about the wedding, I have to say sorry, there is really not much new going on recently.  The assembly and printing of wedding invitations have been taking longer than we expected;  therefore, not much new updates except I have been learning how to address the envelopes properly.  Trust me, all the rules are not that exciting to read about.  If you are still curious for any reason, I found this site very useful, it listed lots of possible scenario (eg. judge, doctor, gay, lesbian...etc).  In our case, most people we are inviting are ordinary (sorry if this offends any of my friends and family).  The most special case would be people with two children, since we had to figure out how to nicely squeeze everyone's name onto the envelop and the response card. 

Hopefully, we can start distributing our invitations soon.  Oh, if I haven't bored you enough with all the rules and etiquette yet, there is also an article on delivering wedding invitations in person.  The overall summary is:

- delivering in person is charming and personable.  Bear and I are really not trying to be charming, but we would like to show people how much we like to have them in our wedding. 
- avoid distasteful occasions, for example other people's engagement party, it's rude to take away the focus from the other couple.
- Also should avoid the occasions where certain people are excluded from receiving invitations.

I only listed the ones that make most sense to me.  And I will be okay, if anyone find us charming when we hand deliver the invitations :)
