Address Labels

You should hand write them or print directly on the envelope but NO labels.

I am not a fan of labels generally, but won't judge you if you go that route. I really wanted to hand write mine, but I am such a perfectionist that every little teenie tiny mistake bothered me. I ended up printing on the envelopes and it looked amazing!

We're using matching labels for our invites and RSVP for the return address.

But I am printing the mailing address on them if its in my budget. Otherwise, I'll sit down with a couple beers and take my time handwriting them all out.

I've done it for friends weddings etc, so I know after a couple they'll look really good. Or at least decent!

Printing the address on the envelope is free...from your own printer.

I don't have a printer. Or I'd do it. How's that?

When we moved FHs expensive a$$ crazy printer got broken. We can scan stuff but can't print with it.

So I'd have to take them to a printer. But that's just me.

I am using clear labels with calligraphy font

Cheetah- that makes sense. I wouldn't have been able to figure out how to do it from another printer, cause I copied and pasted the addresses into the document I printed from (I am pretty sure that was the hard way, but I had given up at that point trying to figure it out, lol).

If your writing is good, I still prefer handwritten over the printer anyway.

LABELS!! Or else the mailman won't have any clue where to mail it to.

Seriously, if you can't afford to hire a calligrapher or you have chicken scratch hand writings, clear labels with a pretty font will do JUST FINE!

@SoontobeMrsR, where do I find clear labels?

Where do I find clear labels?

We used labels, too. You can find clear ones at any office supply place, Staples, Office Depot, etc.

We did clear labels with a calligraphy font as well!! They looked gorgeous A friend of mine got married last year and REALLY wanted her invites hand-styled...so she paid an arm and a leg to have it done and to this day, says it's her biggest financial mistake of the wedding, b/c hardly anyone noticed.

We just got a pack of Avery clear mailing labels at Staples, typed them all in and then EMAILED them as a Word document to the Staples and they printed it there with their laser printer (our home printer is ink jet, and we were worried about streaks). We had 4 sets printed - STD, invitations, thank you cards, MISC (you never know when you'll need a label!). I think all together we spent maybe $15 (for labels & printing). It's an easy, and inexpensive way to get it done! Good luck!

PS - you can find awesome fonts for FREE online! I think we got ours at abstractfonts.com

I'm actually addressing my envelopes now. Lol. I was going to use regular labels ones that I can print from my computer because calligraphy does look beautiful but I refused to spend so much on addressing envelopes; anyway after I did one I didn't like the way it turned out. So I am hand writing all of them and they do not look bad at all.
