Question concerning addressing the envelopes

I ordered my Save the Dates (they're magnets) and these pretty pearl colored envelopes.  I also got return address labels to put on the back.  I was wondering if I could hand address the Save the Dates or would it look better if I use clear labels?  I was thinking that handwritting them would be a nice personal touch, but what does everyone think?

    Handwrite them! It's much more personal. The only reason not to would be if you have terrible handwriting or like, 300 to address.

    Handwriting is always the better option.

    I love hand written but I personally have TERRIBLE handwriting...  I don't love the look of a stuck on label so we're hoping to put the save the date envelopes directly in our printer and print right on the envelopes...  Hopefully I don't regret this!  I may try to enlist my mom to do the actual invitations since her handwriting is great but I didn't want to burden her with the save the dates too...

    I handwrote all STDs (100) , invites (125) , and now am in the processing of escort cards (200+)...it's a nice touch and looks way nicer!!

    Thank you everyone!  I really did want to handwrite them, so I'm glad everyone is for it.  Plus I have nice handwriting and I ordered extra envelopes just in case.

    Late to the discussion - but I melded the best of both worlds, I printed in a very light color on my envelopes and then traced over it with a dip calligraphy pen - I think it turned out pretty well! This way all the lines were straight and the spacing was just right :) Here's a pic:
