I am printing address labels for my invites.. I don't care what your opinions is on this, I just want to know : should they be centered or lined up on the left??

    OMG.. trust me, trying to make labels on my Mac has been MUCH more time cosuming than it would have been to write them. I had to type them twice and then cut and paste them on my mom's PC to get them to the labels.. but they will be prettier.. I was thinking centered too, but then I googled it and found left aligned to be an answer.. I think I will go with centered... unless someone has a good reason why not to Smiley smile

    I got my return address labels from VP Smiley winking

    My opinion Center... I center all my stuff, i just think it looks better...

    & listen I am sooo with you.. I was telling DH this evening that I am going to this website to do my own font & then going to pring everything with my own font from now on, since his hand writing sucks & he is not planning on sitting & addressing all the envelopes for invitations, thank you cards, rsvp, etc...

    try out this site if you have time, I havent done it yet, but planning on doing it this weekend..

    Just finished handwriting 55 invites. taking a rest. My FH come and said, wow honey you have done a great job, you have a really pretty hand writing. I was like.. there is 95 more want some? he said nope think your doing a wonderful job. GO figure! lol anyway back to you.. I like center personally but most of the invites I get are to the left.. don't have a reason and doubt there is one.. do what you think looks better.

    Absolutely centered. I think it looks better and less "typed" if that makes sense.

    Definitely centered. Exactly what kris s. said, they look less computer-generated that way.

    Check with USPS to see if their machines can scan better if each line starts at the left.

    Mr and Mrs Smith and Family

    123 sesame street

    Apt 23

    houston, tx 83134

    or this..
