Surprisingly very few young adults know how to properly address an envelope. In the digital age we live in it is not very common to use snail mail, especially when it is quicker to send an email or text message. However, snail mail is still used today. Whether it is to simply send a Birthday card to a friend or to send in a resume and application when applying for a job.
Now, when addressing an envelope you need a few main things. The name of who you are sending the mail to, their address, (including street, house number, city, state, and zip code), a stamp (or two. or three. the number depends on the size of the package and how far it is being sent), and your return address. The stamp will go in the top right corner of the envelope and the return address (which is your address usually) goes in the top left corner. The name and address goes in the middle of the envelope. The first line is the persons name (First and Last name). Below that goes the street address and house number. And below that is where you write the city, state, and zip code, in that order. Below is a couple of example photos of envelopes for reference. I also included a link to a website that fully explains the in's and out's of addressing an envelope. http://www.americangreetings.com/blog/address-envelope/
