My invitations came in!

LoveYouB · March 2012

Yay!! But now I need to address them all so I can send them out Monday...

A caligrapher would be too expensive, so I can either hand write the addresses or print each one indevidually. I have decent handwriting.

Thank you!!

LoveYouB · March 2012

A main concern is if you think guests would think they look bad if I hand wrote them :-/

daria24 · March 2012

I fed mine through the printer at work because FI and I both have awful handwriting. I was more concerned that the PO wouldn't be able to read the addresses!

I think if your handwriting is decent, just write them yourself. However printing them wasn't too hard for me because my office printer has a hand feed option. It probably took more time than writing them out by hand though!

I have never once thought "OMG look at how horrible that handwriting is" on any piece of mail. I can't even remember if I've ever received an invitation with a label, calligraphy, or printed. I just notice who it's for and open it up. I normally throw the envelope away immediately.

So I'd do whichever one you think is easiest. I handwrote all of mine.

Haha That is so true!! I am probably overthinking how critical people will be. Thank you. :)

I fed mine through my printer at home and am more than happy with how they came out

janeash · March 2012

I used clear labels with a nice font. I'm pretty sure nobody even noticed.....

agree. My mom, FMIL and I all hand wrote our invitations. Using a calligrapher was an added expense I didn't want. I don't think anyone will notice if you hand write them. I am usually so excited to get wedding invitations in the mail, I hardly ever pay attention to how the address is written.

kelsey+brandon · March 2012

I'm printing mine through the printer with a super light colored ink and then tracing over them with a pen so they look handwritten.

precamies · March 2012

kelsey - that's an interesting idea!
I think I'm just going to do mine by hand. There's not too many of them anyway, and I've been told I have a nice handwriting.

I wouldn't worry about it much, as already was said above, most people won't care much.

[Deleted User] · March 2012

I’m convinced that people do notice those details, if not consciously then unconsciously. People enjoy knowing that you did take the time to have it addressed individually. So, I prefer calligraphy or handwritten and at the very least, individually printed on.

Zimsgirl · March 2012

I did labels

Agreed.

Nindakay · March 2012

My mom does calligraphy, so she is addressing mine. They are GORGEOUS!!

[Deleted User] · March 2012

I picked other because I used labels, didn't have to write or print one by one.

<div>I voted on printing them from your computer because you can change the fonts and the color ink to your liking. I have pretty decent handwritting and it was suggested to me to handwrite mines but I have uncurable disease called "I'm too d*** lazy to do it" so I'm printing mines or going to Kinkos!</div>

LoveYouB · March 2012

Thank you all for your input!!

Melissa603 · March 2012

We were going to hand address them but it ended up brig cheaper to have the printer that made the invitations print the address. It didn't make sense but I wasn't going to question it and for the time and money I just went with it. It is all color coordinated and fonts match so will look good. I can't wait for them to get here!

LoveYouB · March 2012

Ok so I ended up printing all of them ... I handwrote 3 of them and then got all paranoid that I wasn't writing in a straight line so just printed them all and it actually didnt take as long as I thought. I'm so excited to send them out on Monday!!!

My invitations came in!
