return address??? which name?

madrone7 · September 2009

I want to order a return address rubber stamp so I don't have to write them all out but if I do this I am wondering what name to put on it. Mine? His? both? What is the norm here??

I put my name on it, since they were all coming to my mailbox.

I plan on using "Mylastname-Hislastname Wedding"

If you're planning to change your last name to his after the wedding and you guys already live together, I would have the stamp have his last name only and your address that way you can keep using it after the wedding.

I think the etiquette says that your names shouldn't appear "together" before the wedding has taken place. So I'd go with something generic like "hislastname" (assuming the responses are coming to his house), or, I'd use your name entirely if the responses are coming to your house. I ordered a stamp, too. I went with "Mr. First Lastname" because we used the stamp for both the return address on the outer envelopes and also the "to" address on the RSVP envelopes. (and because the mail goes to his house and not my house) Also, I loved how the stamps turned out. I got a neat ink pad from Michael's and it took no time at all to stamp everything. I've been trying to think of more excuses to stamp things

Hope this helps!

Depends on who is inviting the guests to the event. If your parents' names are on the top line of your invitation as the people who are "requesting the honour of your presence" to the guests, then the invitation is coming from your parents, and it's your parents' names and address that go on the envelope as the return address for the invitations. You could get the rubber stamp with their information on it, then give it to them for their future correspondance. If you and FI are on the top line of the invitations, then the invitation is coming from you both. If you are not changing your name after marriage, you could put both names on the top line of the stamp: Jones-SmithIf you are changing your name after marriage, you could just put the address with no name at all.The norm, since you asked, is to handwrite the envelopes. Yeah, even the return address.

The return address should be the name of the person(s) issuing the invitation.and no rubber stamps. Write it out or print it onto the envelopes.

We are both paying for the wedding. and we already live together. I am making all of the invites myself and was just looking to save a little time. I should probably just write them out though...maybe i will put both our last names and that is itThanks

oot mother, what if your inviting 500?? let's be realistic. this was an issue I'm having with my mom, but now I see she is right, her name will go on the return even though I hand made all my invitations

PP, it doesn't matter how many invitations you are sending. No labels or stampsIf you can print labels, you can print directly on the return envelopes just as easily
