I have address labels 5630 and I feel like they are kind of small for invite. What did you use?

    You really shouldn't use labels of any kind for wedding invitations.

    You could print directly on the envelope if you didn't want to hand write addresses, which is the prefered method

    You don't use labels at all.  Weeding invitations should be hand addressed.

    Does it really matter label or no labels? Chances are people throw away the envelope right away, at lease I do. I think 5630 is a good size.

    Formal correspondence should be hand written. If you are unwilling or unable to do that or to pay for a calligrapher or to have your FI do it, then at least print directly on the envelopes.

    Your invitation - and specifically, the envelope it arrives in -- is the first impression your guests get of your wedding.  Don't ruin that impression by using a label, even if it's in a fancy font with a little heart in the corner.  Either hand address or print directly on the envelope.

    Agreed.  There's something half-assed and generic about a label.  You don't want people thinking your wedding will follow suit.
