Street Address

The accepted rule on the use of the street address is that its inclusion is optional unless there is more that one facility with that name in that town, in which case is it mandatory. The street address is also used when the facility is not well known or when there are a number of out-of-town guests. Since giving the street address is an additional courtesy to your guests, it is almost always proper. The only time its use is not proper is when direction and map cards are used. Then the street address is redundant. Including the street address, however, adds an extra line to the invitation. Most invitations, especially those engraved in script lettering styles, look better with fewer lines of copy, so before you decide to include the address consider the aesthetics.
