Hand deliver wedding invitations?

I believe traditionally it was more proper to hand deliver than mail. However, I'd be wary doing it at work if you didn't invite everyone. If I were doing hand deliveries, I'd probably drop by their house (obviously that's not appropriate for every social relationship - don't stalk your coworkers) but at least in private when you and the invitee are alone. If it's a few coworkers, schedule some coffees/lunches over the week and do it over that

This is the invitation

Wow, it's just beautiful! Considering how fancy those are, I would feel very honored to recieve one by hand. Some people tend to think "oh I guess I wasn't worth the stamp" but with invites like that, clearly you didn't spare any expense so I'm sure people would just think it's an extra special touch

Omg that looks gorgeous. I say hand delivery is more traditional I like the idea.

Those are so nice. I don't think there is an issue with hand delivering them.

Just make sure when you hand them out you don't hand them out in front of someone not invited.

A lot of people that are invited to our wedding are people that live in town, go to church with us, ect. So, probably about half of our invitations are going to be hand delivered. I think it's a little more personal that way. Plus, if you have 100 invitations, and you mail each one of them, that's 100 stamps you have to buy!

If you can hand deliver them that would be awesome! $4 each to mail is insane...

What @Jenny said about delivering them privately, I absolutely agree especially in the office. I probably wouldn't hand them out at the shower unless that is the only time you will see some of your guest list, that feels a little weird to me but I can't figure out why

I hand delivered almost all of mine except for those who I could not. That is how we received all of our invites from everyone we knew lol.

My cousin hand delivered hers and I was actually super impressed by that. Go for it! They're absolutely gorgeous invites

I mailed some handed some out and my postage was 44 cents. 4 dollars they would be handed out

Thank you everyone for such great advice. So answer is do hand deliver personally, do not hand out at bridal shower?

Yes, I think it would be wierd to hand it out at the shower too. Not sure why but I think I'd be taken a back as a guest

We probably did half mailed and half handed out for our STD and will do the same with invites. I wouldn't do it at the shower.

Everyone at the shower would be getting one so I don't think it's weird to hand them out there.

I will be hand delivering most of mine! Only, like everyone else has said, I wouldn't do it in the workplace or anywhere with people that are not invited. I would hand it to the person when no one else is around so you avoid problems.

Wow those are beautiful

If you do do it at the shower, maybe as guests arrive would make it more personal. Or as they leave. I wouldn't just pass them out mid-shower - feels impersonal

Those are beautiful!

Genius idea about passing them out at the shower!

We hand delivered some of our STDs since we see these people a lot, and just mailing the OOT guests invites.
