  I would say thats fine if every person in that group is invited. 

  If not you should just mail them.

  I agree with crash.  As long as you're not handing people invitations with other people around who aren't invited, then I think it's okay to hand-deliver them.  I would still recommend puting stamps on the RSVP envelopes in case it's easier for them to mail it back to you rather than hand you the RSVP.

  You can, but i like getting things in the mail. Makes me feel special . I say ask the preference of the guest.

  It depends on the circumstances.
  
  Last month one of our neighbors hand-delivered our invitation to the door- a week before the wedding. That much "casualness" (I don't think that's a word, but whatever lol) made my mom & I feel like we were on the C-list and they were just handing out last second invites so that they could get more gifts.
  
  On the other hand, our (very close) neighbors brought one over with sincerity and a hug. We were happy to recieve it.
  
  As a general rule, I think mailing is better. But it's all about your personal relationships imo.

  I think hand delivering invitations is something you do for a kid's birthday party, to be honest. If I was hand delivered a wedding invitation, I would assume that it was a really casual affair just based on how it's delivered.

  
  

  I know postage can add up, but it makes such a statement to get an invitation in the mail, especially when so many things are done via email or text or phone these days. I say just mail them

  I say if it isn't going to be a formal event, then it is fine.

  I didn't really like it when my FBIL and FSIL hand delivered their engagement present thank you, their wedding invitation, their wedding thank you note etc.  i think a wedding is the last thing that hasn't completely turned into a email thing so i plan on mailing every single one of our invitations.

  I see nothing wrong with hand delivered invites.  I thought you meant that you would put them in your friend's mailboxes though.  Either you put it in the mailbox, or the mailman does .... I don't see much of a difference.
