Opinion poll on how invitations should be addressed

If you were a guest receiving an invitation, would you think it's terrible if they were not personally addressed by the couple, if they were printed, or if labels were used. I know that wedding etiquette use to say, invitations should be hand addressed by the couple. But, I'd like to see who really cares how they're addressed. Mary MOB

I plan on printing the envelopes individually. I know it's time consuming but if I do at least 10 a day, it won't take that long. I like that better than labels, but see nothing wrong with using clear labels.

in the end, the envelope goes in the garbage (along with the rest of the invitation) so i couldnt care less how it arrived ... as long as its neat, its fine by me any way it comes

That's what I'm doing too....but I wouldn't really care what someone else did!

Michelle, I don't really know what Debi has in mind, but she asked me to do her STD's. I would love to learn calligraphy. Mary MOB

Re: Opinion poll on how invitations should be addressed

i feel like i have seen a lot of calligraphy used to address wedding envelopes lately...i think that is what i plan on doing...i have a friend who offered to do them...i also think that a company printing them up has become common as well...thanks for sharing too about how in the past people used to prefer to handwrite them...i did not know that...it does add a little personal touch

I don't care how they're addressed. I use envelopes as scrap paper anyway.

Although I do NOTICE pretty calligraphy.

Re: Opinion poll on how invitations should be addressed

i never thought i cared but i got a recent invitation where they 1. used labels and 2. the font was way too small and I really didn't like the way it looked.

so i'm either going to print directly on or my sister offered to handwrite them - she has great handwriting!!

anything OTHER THAN LABELS is perfectly acceptable

07er here! I used clear labels with a really pretty font, and was extremely happy with how they came out (and how much less aggravation it was to do it that way!).

As far as I know, no one had any complaints. But then, IMHO, if someone cares that much about how an invitation is addressed.......
