Invitation Etiquette questions

1.  What's the consensus on hand addressing versus printing address labels for the invitations?  2.  Is it ok to hand deliver invitations to my coworkers to save on postage or should they be mailed?3.  What's the rule for addressing invites:  invitee + significant other's name versus invitee + "guest"?  Does it go by how long they've been dating or if they live together or not?Thanks.

    1. Hand written is always preferred but labels, especially pretty or decorative ones, are more and more acceptable.  2. I think they should be mailed.  It's not going to save you all that much money to hand deliver.3. You should always use the guest's name if you know it.  If you don't know it, you should try to find out.

    1.  you should hand address if you want to follow etiquette in the strictest form. 2.  i would not, particularly if not everyone at work is invited.3.  if you have the guests name you shoudl use it.

    1.  Most people think it looks better to write the addresses by hand.  I think it comes down to practicality, but I'm crazy like that.2.  Only hand deliver them at work if every single person you work with is getting invited.  Otherwise you're just begging for drama.3.  It's generally considered poor form to write "and guest."  Take the time to find out the person's name, since they're being invited to your wedding.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    1. I printed my invitations because it was faster and more easily read. 2. Definitely mail...less drama and stress. 3. We only invited "and guest" for a couple people.  The outer envelope was addressed to the person and the inner had their name and "and guest", since we had no idea who they were planning on bringing at the time invitations were mailed.  If you know the person has a SO, then it would be nice to find out their names to place on the invitation.
