Invites

Is it improper etiquette to hand deliver wedding invitations to a select few (i.e. coworkers, people you see every day, etc.). If this is an option to do, would you still stamp the envelopes?

Thanks ladies!

    It's a small business. Four employees including myself and they'll all be invited.

    Why would you stamp the outer envelope if it's not going through the post office? 

    Just send them all though the mail since it's easier.

    Address them and send them through the mail - just like all of your other invitations. If you are inviting co-workers (i.e. mixing personal and professional) this further enforces that this is a personal event.

    mail them.  Hand delivering vastly increases the chances of your invitation getting stuck in a purse, briefcase, glove box, inbox, etc. where it is completely forgotten until months later.  It's worth the $1.84

    Mail them - otherwise they're likely to be lost or misplaced. But mail goes right onto the counter.

    Mail them to everyone's home address.  Like a PP said, receiving an invite in the mail at your home address really enforces that this is a personal event.

    Is there a reason you want to hand deliver them?

    I will be hand delivering one invitation, but it is because it is going to my FI's adult son and he still lives with his mother. No need for the story, but mailing a wedding invitation to her house would not go over well.

    If there isn't a good reason then I don't see why you wouldn't just mail them. I love when I come home from work and get the mail and have something in there besides bills.
