Am I terrible for??

Original post by SPITSBRIDE

Handwritting the envelopes on my 'THANK YOU' cards? I know the proper way is to print labels or print the font right on to the envelope but I am really anxious to get them out ASAP and began handwritting them with a black marker. They honestly don't look bad but am not sure if this is something my guests are going to look down on me for doing.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? This has been on my mind ALL night and it's really bothering me

Also, they are not all completed and almost half of them are done. My mom screamed at me last night for doing them this way and said it's embarrassing. My DH doesn't see anything wrong with it and thinks they look nice but being he's a guy I can't go by his opinion so decided to turn to my LIW girls.

PLEASE HELP, I am REALLY stressing over this

hand writer, right here! I think people who type out or type a generic thank you kinda tacky. Handwriting shows you took the time to say thank you!!

I handwrote everything for the wedding. I think it makes it more personal. Don't stress out about something people are going to throw away.

I handwrote all of the addresses for my thank you notes. I was always under the impression that that was the proper way to do it - to keep things as personal as possible. People were writing thank you notes long before computers were in each and every home so I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

They are supposed to be handwritten. Labels are a last resort.



agreed.

Handwriting envelopes--that's a crime! Just kidding. It's totally fine. I used labels b/c my handwriting is so terrible and b/c the addresses were already in my computer anyway. So, I was being lazy!
