Cristina Márquez Vda. de López 4) Si se invita a una amiga que todavía no esté casada pero va a llevar a su novio o acompañante se escribe: Srta. Mariana Muñoz y Acompañante 5) Si entre los invitados hay algún militar, es necesario mencionar su título y grado: General Luís García Rojas y Sra. 6) Algunas veces cuando la boda es muy formal (etiqueta, etiqueta rigurosa) y de noche se puede anteponer al nombre el titulo Don o Doña, esta última regla puede ser usada tanto para mujeres solteras como casadas.
