Handing out vs. mailing

MrsPope, on March 9, 2015 at 10:59 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 31

Did any of you hand deliver STDs or invites? I invited 5 co workers to the wedding and I currently have all my STDs with me at work. I really just wanna hand them theirs since they are all sitting less than 25 feet from me.

What do you think?

    I invited 1 co worker and I mailed it to him. I didn't hand deliver any of my invites/STDs.

    I mailed the ones for coworkers because I didn't invite everyone and didn't want it to be awkward.

    Save the stamp... and the waiting, you see them everyday almost. I told my future cousin (her FH is my FH's cousin) I am attending her shower Friday, she asked for our address to send the invite I told her save the stamp, just give it to me this weekend. Since we are getting married in March I think Christmas I will have many invites in hand for family when we visit this year.

    My plan is to mail all invitations. However, I want them in the mail this weekend, and there are still a good number of addresses that I don't have. Most of them are FH's family who are in town. While I could theoretically just hand them out, if they don't give FH their address, I might just say f* them.

    We invited a good number of coworkers and they're all getting mailed.

    This is one of those instances where it's "to each their own". I had 2 co-workers get married last year. One hand delivered her invitations the other mailed them. Several of the older ladies were offended she hand delivered them, while the women closer to her age thought it was a good idea. Personally, I would have preferred she mailed them as there were ladies nearby who saw her handing them out but did not receive one. I found that to be rude and hurtful.

    If you do choose to hand them out at work, make sure you do so privately or in the presence of those who are also receiving an invitation.

    I'm hand delivering to my family Easter weekend. But don't hand them out if there's ppl around who are not invited - that's just rude.

    @FMP @Valarie I literally laughed out loud!

    Thanks ladies. I already told them from the beginning "not everyone is invited so keep this on the low." I wouldn't dare hand it to them in front of anyone that's not invited.

    I was wondering the same thing! My family told me why waste a stamp when I see them regularly. I think I will mail the wedding invitations though.

    I just handed them out to all 5 people and saved me 5 stamps. I'll mail their invites to their home in June.

    I handed mine out, with kind of a "disclosure" letting them know who else from the office was invited to avoid awkwardness

    @Maltese I hate getting mail. I check my mail box once every 2 weeks or longer if possible unless I am expecting something.

    My invites are going to cost over $1 each to mail (postage in Canada sucks) you can bet I'll be hand delivering as many as a I can. Anyone who is "offended" about that can choose not to come to my wedding. IDGAF

    Def hand deliver! Nothing wrong with that! We did that with most of FH's save the dates because he sees everyone! I don't care and we might do that with the wedding invites. Most of our family/friends are like if we see you then just give it to us. Nbd. I rarely check the mail unless I order something online.
