Addressing Dark Envelopes

My envelopes are dark purple so I can't write on them in normal ink. These are the two options I am trying to decide between:
1. Writing the addresses out by hand (I have very good handwriting) with a white or silver, fine point paint pen. 
2. Using the wrap around address labels. (I really don't like the idea of using labels, but if it looks better then I am okay with it.)

What sounds better? I am open to better suggestions.

    I think the white or silver against the dark purple would look super sharp and elegant :)

    I agree with the PPs, I've seen pictures of others who have used white or silver pens on dark paper and it looks really beautiful!

    I'm in the exact same boat as you.  I have dark purple envelopes.  I decided to use a silver pen...I have good handwriting, too.  I think they'll look nice!

    I have dark blue envelopes and wrote on them with a silver pen.  It looks really nice!  I am so happy that I decided to do it that way.  It really stands out.

    I just helped a friend last year with her navy colored envelopes, and we used a silver pen - they turned out beautiful!!!

    I also vote for the silver/white pen. Its worth it.

    To take it one step further: we ordered a custom return address stamp and got a silver ink pad so the return address was also gorgeous and it saved a whole lot of hand cramping :)
