* The formality of the event. A casual engagement party will allow for more flexibility in addressing invitations, while a formal engagement party will require more traditional etiquette.
* The number of guests. If you are inviting a large number of guests, you may want to consider using an outer envelope with the guest's name and address and an inner envelope with the guest's name and the invitation details.
* The format of the invitation. If the invitation is printed, you will need to use a formal font and spacing. If the invitation is handwritten, you can use a more casual font and spacing.
