Miss is used for younger people (20 and younger) and Ms. is used for older people. The reason Ms. is used is because you don't want to make assumptions that a person is married. Use Ms. for people who you know are single, and those that you are not sure about. Hope tha helps.

Ms is a blending of Miss and Mrs. and is often used if the marital status is unknown or irrelevant. It is a common practive nowadays to use Ms in invitations and it speaks of both status.

Miss denotes an unmarried woman, whereas Ms. can be either a married or an unmarried woman. You use whichever designation the individual prefers -- Miss, Mrs. or Ms.. If unsure, use Ms.
