Putting your address allows the recipient (wherever they deposit the money order) to contact you if they want to confirm that it's real or if there is an issue.

Make sure the amount is correct. After you buy a money order (and note, there will be a fee), double-check the amount that's printed on it. Write in the recipient's name. Enter your own info. Include an account number or note. Sign it. Keep the receipt.
