Invitations

I know my inner and outer envelope should be address handwritten, but can I have the return address printed on the envelope? Also, can the RSVP envelope be printed with my address instead of handwritten?

That is what we did, and if is perfectly acceptable from an etiquette standpoint. And just to add, the return address us usually printed in the back flap of the outer envelope.

Yes this is totally fine - they can be printed on the back flap like PP said and on the front of the RSVP envelope.

I was panning on doing just that and for the rsvp card.  A family friend of FIs does calligraphy so she is doing it as a gift but I didn't want to make it more work than necessary!

We got a stamp from Etsy for this exact purpose. Printing is also fine!

I didn't hand print envelopes - I created a wrap label for both the outter and inner envelope that matched our invitation.  Printed them on clear labels and placed on the invites.

I've gotten very positive feedback on the invites.  My handwriting is attrocious and having seen other invites with lables that matched the invites I decided to do the same.

I am doing labels for both sender and receiver.  Much easier that way and my handwriting isn't spectacular...let alone write in a straight line across an envelope.  The backs of my envelopes are also decorative, so I put the return address in the front.  either is fine

I think that we will do handwritten receiver addresses for the invites, because my fiancé actually wants to do them (go figure), but printed/sticker for everything else. 

I have received several invitations with printed sender and receiver address (the sticker kind) and did not even think twice about it. Honestly, no-one is going to lose sleep over whether or not you handwrote their address - plus, they'll just rip open the envelope and toss (recycle!) it anyway. IF they keep anything, they'll keep the invite.
