STD/Invitations

Good Morning ladies!

When addressing the invites and STDs did you use labels or hand write them? I've heard etiquette is to hand write. What did you do??

TIA!

  • My mom printed the addresses right on the envelope on her home computer.
  • There's another thread with this exact same question from Tuesday or Wednesday - posted by SimplyMistaken that might help you.

    Bottom line - ettiquette is hand written, but who honestly notices or remembers the address on the outside envelope, so...
  • Etiquette says it should be handwritten, but I swear every invite I've gotten this year has been printed!  I think I'll be doing the same :)
  • I did labels. :)

  • I know invites are supposed to be hand written but I plan on having the addresses printed on the envelope.  My std's had labels on them though.  I figured having the address printed on the envelope looked more fomral than having a label, it doesn't really matter though.
    Hand writing is way to much work.  And I don't have the prettiest penmenship either.

  • I have nice handwriting so I'm of the "handwritten" camp.

    I really don't think it's tacky to use a computer though, I just like doing stuff like that.

    Now ask me again in 6 months when I am actually writing all these out and I may have another opinion :):)
  • I handwrote these.  We had under 20  and I wanted to get them out the door rather than mess around wtih doing a label.  My handwriting is crap, so I woulnd't do this for invitations, but it worked fine for our STD postcards.
