Help! I'm moving and I'm not sure what to do about return address on invitations

Hi everyone...

Here is my dilemma... 

My FI and I are moving on June 15 however we will be in the house the first two weeks of June painting and fixing up the place first. When I made our invitations I put the return address for our new house not our current one.  I am mailing out these invitations this coming Monday (May 14) and now my fiance is worried that if people respond early via the postcard that we will not get the mail since neither of us our at the new address yet according to the post office.  I asked the post office and they said use our current address then everything would be transfered once we move however we already printed the invitations with our new address and I didn't want to do this because sometimes the transfer time takes a week or two and when it comes down to those last few weeks before the wedding I can't have late RSVP's coming to the old address and being forwarded.  

So does anyone have any ideas or suggestions of the best way to handle this? 

Thanks so much!!!

We were in transition too when we sent ours out.... So we just had the RSVP's with DH parents address on it.  Kind of sucked because we didn't get that excited feeling to check the mail - but much easier because I'm pretty sure not all of the RSVP's would have been forwarded correctly.

I am finding myself with the same question.  I am supposedly closing on my house at the end of June--so I am holding off doing the invites for that reason

Would it be possible to put labels over them???  I know it might not look the best, but might be the simplest.

Another thought--can the post office hold all of your mail--that way you can pick them up at the post office??

Could you ask the post office to hold all of your mail for your new address?  It may not be too convenient but at least you can pick up bulk mail a couple times a week during this transition.

Maybe I will try holding the mail at the post office that might work easier.  I just wasn't sure they could do that since the mail would be coming in from two different addresses.
