return address labels for response card envelopes?

I am wondering about using return address labels for the response card envelopes. We are inviting 200+ people and writting my name and address over and over again would be very tiring! lol I am also not sure how to print smaller envelopes yet on a home computer and I don't want to pay to get them done. What does everyone think about using the labels on the response card envelope? Would it be ok to use them on there? Could I do that? Or would it be tacky? I have return address labels that would be perfect for them and I got some of them for free from Vistaprint.com. These labels are personalized by me and match our invitations. Some people are saying that it would be tacky, others think its a good idea. I am not sure what to do.

Return addresses on RSVP envelopes aren't strictly required, but mailing addresses are, of course, and they're your address.  I did wrap around labels on ours as they're black envelopes and I couldn't write or print on them due to the color.  Pictures and templates in my bio.

I'm pretty sure the vendor we are going with prints the return labels as an extra cost. An alternative to a label might be to use a stamp. You can get them from Visaprint pretty cheap and it might look nicer because there is no outline (of the stamp)- just the text. We were thinking of doing that as well if it's going to save us a lot of $$

Ok, so would you use them or wouldn't you? lol I am looking to use them as labels with my address on them. (addressing them to myself basically). There is no border on them, so I think that it would look ok, but I need other opinions.

I was planning on doing it the same way. Sticking my cute labels on the RSVP cards... but now.... GAH... I hate indecisive me!

Hope someone clarifies for us both!

I don't like plain labels for wedding mailings, really.  So, I did wraparounds because I had black envelopes & couldn't find any pens that wrote well on them.  As such, I used my parents (an hour away) as the return addy on the rsvps, just in case something got lost - since wraparounds pretty much mandate a return address.

Other than that, I don't see any need for them.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that, and I think very few if any people receiving your invitation would even have an opinion on it one way or another, assuming they're not Rockefellers or something...
