Invitation etiquette

If you live with people whom you want to invite to your wedding, is it bad etiquette to hand-deliver the invitations rather than mail them?

Either way works for me, I'm just curious.

  • Heh.  I would not mail an invitiation to my roomate unless it was a black or white tie affair.

    I would just hand-deliver it.  I would find it silly to be mailed an invitation by someone who lived with me.

  • I would think hand delivery is perfectly appropriate as long as you're not handing the invitation to them in front of someone who isn't invited.

    LOL I've done that before for my mom's birthday and what not because she likes getting mail!

    It's fine to hand them out. NBD.

    Lol I have the same issue. My current roomie is one of my bridesmaids. I will probably just hand her the invitation.
