Addressing the Envelopes: Cursive vs Printing?

ArizonaHikingFan

I know the "outer" envelope should have the names and address handwritten and I don't intend to do otherwise. (As an FYI, I'm using a DIY kit that didn't include an "inner" envelope, so the guests that are invited are listed on the RSVP card with check boxes for accepts/regrets.)

My question is when you are handwriting the name and address, did you use cursive or did you print? I'm concerned because my cursive looks like it was done by a wobbly third grader, but I my printed handwriting is clean and easy to read, and looks fairly nice. I also have concerns about how well my less-than-stellar cursive writing will go through at the post office.
(No one on my bridal party lives in state, and I have no family members in town who have nice cursive handwriting who would be available to assist me in this project. I'm doing it all, and hiring a caligrapher is out of the question budget-wise.)

Does this matter? How did you write yours? Thanks!

Either is fine.  Cursive is more formal but that you took the time to do it by hand is what counts.

Whichever is more legible.  You don't want invitations getting lost or delayed because they had trouble reading your handwriting.

I'm using the computer because both my handwriting and printing are horrible.  I'm most concerned with the invites getting were they need to go, so I say go with your handprinting if that is easier to read.
