How did you word your names on return labels pre/post wedding?

Malei, on November 24, 2017 at 4:02 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 29

Help! I'm trying to take advantage of VistaPrint's sale and want to get return address labels to use for mailing out invites, rsvp return envelopes, and also to put on our thank you cards we're sending out (bulk is better/cheaper). How should I have our names printed on them since I plan to use them before I take his last name AND afterwards? Ugh, these are questions I didn't think I needed to spend energy on and I feel like I'm missing an easy solution here (turkey/bridal brain). TIA!

    We did "The Future Mr. & Mrs. T" before. We've shared the same address for quite a while so we didn't need to pick one address over the other. Our thank yous are "Mr. & Mrs. T." I have a set that's just our first names, too.

    ETA: grammar

    I like the idea of using just your first names! I've never seen that before and it makes life better. Thanks for the input!

    I got a return address stamp made. I just used our first names so I can use it now and later as long as we have the same address. I figure everyone knows who we are & our last names are on the invites if they need it for something.

    I got a stamp from etsy with just our first names. I figured we could use it after the wedding as well. It looks so good too, I was impressed with the quality.

    ETA: This is not our info, just the stock photo from etsy.

    We just did first names on the pre-wedding stuff and were gifted a stamp with DH's last name and our first names for post-wedding stuff

    I got a stamp with two inserts, one has just our first names and the second has Mr. & Mrs. Hickman for thank yous.

    We have lived together many years, so that wasn't a concern for either one

    My parents hosted the wedding/reception and issued the invitations, with their return address.

    We didn't use RSVP cards; guests responded online, through our wedding website's RSVP function.

    Didn't change name. Had address labels with just our address.

    I only did his first name and my first name. I didn't order many because we live in an apartment and I can always print more as I need them.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I just ordered a stamp with our first names that's big enough to use for return address AND for the mailing address for our return RSVPs. So excited! THANK YOU ALL for your feedback!

    I ended up just using first names on the outer envelope and our full names on the RSVP only because I was worried that the RSVP cards would be returned.

    I have used just first names. I had some address labels made with our picture on them to try to assist those that don't know immediately from our names.

    Both of our last names start with a C so we have a huge C monogram on our return address with just our first names and our address since we bought our house.
