Whose name(s) [bride or groom] and who's address do we put on the invitations? I know it's normally the brides parents, but we are mainly doing this ourselves. Currently, we both have our own homes, but mostly living out of mine. Suggestions?

I would use the address you live in mostly. So both your names and use your home address (or whichever you are doing all the wedding planning in).
Jane Eyre and Jim Allen
67 Peanut Way
Leesfire, Pennsyltucky 12345

Put the address that can accept packages from the post office, UPS, and FedEx, and where someone will most likely be around to sign for them. Some people mail their wedding gifts, and they mail them to the address on the reply cards (which should match the return address). If you live in a locked apartment building, use another address...UPS and FedEx can't just leave the package on the steps, and the gift will be sent back.

Are you guys moving to your house after the wedding, to his, or buying a new one together?
If either of the first choices, stick with that address. If moving into a new house, just use your current address and include your new address in the program at the wedding.

Put down the name and address of the person who is going to be keeping track of the responses. Since my mom was doing it for us (and I lived with her), we had my name and address imprinted on the envelope.
The address you put on the envelope is also the address where the invite will come back to if something is wrong with the address.
Good luck on the planning and congratulations!

The return address should reflect the language used in the invitation. If your invitation mentions your parents and reads, "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith...." Their address should be used for the return address on the little envelopes that are enclosed for R.S.V.P.'s
If your invitation indicates that your and your fiance are hosting the event and say something like, "Miss Wendy Sue Smith and Mr. George Alan Jones...." it would be proper for you to use your address for a return address.
The people who sell you your wedding invitations have books with samples of acceptable wording and notes about what to say in unusual situations. Let them be your guide.
Best wishes!

Traditionally it is the bride's parents and if that is not who is sending out the invitations and the bride and groom are together, the bride should use her name and address. Good luck and God Bless your marriage.

Use your return address
All gifts sent before the wedding should go to the bride.

What I did was use my name and my fiance's name, and my parent's address. We just recently moved in together, so I thought it would be safer to use my parent's place.
You can't use Joan and John Smith, because you're not a Smith yet. Use John Smith and Joan Ark.
