I just want to place 2 orders, but i have not done this before. When i encrypt the message to paste it to the address box can both vendors decrypt it? I'm trying to place the order now.

Just do them separately. Unless you specifically erase the recipient list, anyone who receives the message will be able to see who else it was sent to.

Depends on the tool you use, but with the standard gpg command line program -- which frankly is the only one I actually know how to use, hence why it's the only one I'm telling you how to use -- you just add a "-r PUBLIC_KEY_NAME" for every person you want to give access to the message for. Like so if I wanted to encrypt for you and myself both:
gpg -a -e -r SelfSovereignty -r Typo MESSAGEFILE.txt
(-a == ascii armoring [readable characters, not binary numbers], -r == add recipient,
... and I'd end up with an ASCII armored, encrypted file by the name of MESSAGEFILE.txt.asc. Yes, it's possible to see who the message was encrypted for whether you can decode the message or not, as mbius pointed out. If you want to make that not possible, just add a "--throw-key-ids" argument to the above.
