Black Ink for Invitation Addresses?

i know this may be a silly question BUT does anyone think its tacky to address the invite envelopes with the computer's black ink or is supposed to match the invitation ink color?

thank you

every calligrapher i contacted recommended black ink because it's easier to read. my invitations were in gray ink and it made no difference that the addresses were in black. i think black is classier IMO as well

That's what we did, I wasn't going to concern myself with if the ink matched because I knew that the envelope would most likely end up in the garbage right away.

Black ink is fine that is what i will use for mine.

I wouldn't use labels for the return address though. I would print them from the computer as well.

If you do decide to do clear labels be careful and do print tests. I recently sent out a bunch of invitations to a bridal shower and used the clear labels (from Staples) but they smeared like crazy, even a day after printed! I was so disappointed. I guess it could have to do with the printer but I'm sure whatever I used it similar to what you have at home.

I did a dark blue on mine so it was easier to read and had turquoise ink on the invitation
