One more quick STD question

Is it a no-no to use labels for return addresses on STD's? 

I think it's worth it to bite the bullet and pay 45 cents for pre-printing the return address on each of them if it's bad manners to print my own.

  • I think it depends how many you are sending out. 

    I only sent out about 20 STDs so I just hand wrote them. 

    I think it would look better to have them printed on than to use labels.

  • I'm printing 100.  Between family, wedding party, out of town guests and parents' guests, it's about 70 separate STD's.  Magnet Street can do 75 or 100, I figured 100 would be safe just in case. 

    I definitely plan to hand write the recipients' address, but writing mine 70x?  oof.... Undecided

  • We used labels for the return addresses on our save-the-dates.  They're less formal, so I think it's fine, although I wouldn't use labels for the formal invitations.

  • I sent 250, and I used labels.

  • I sent 70, used an embosser.
  • I uses labels, but instead of putting them on the front I put them on the back on the envelope flap.

  • I think return address labels are fine for STDs.  I'd use a sticker return address for a birthday card or pretty much any other piece of mail; and STDs aren't special in my mind, so they got treated the same.
