Is hand delivering invitations tacky?

It better not be. I am hand delivering as many as I can.

Im hand delivering a few of them as well.

We mailed most of ours, but not his parents' (we were addressing them in their house, so that wouldn't have made sense), and my boss's was also hand delivered because I get her mail for her. So I would have been handing it to her either way!

Nope, not in my book is it tacky. I'm sure there's a handful of WW people that would say it is. I hand delivered my parent's invite and two friends I happened to see at the time I was sending my invites out. Now that I think of it, I wish I would've "hand delivered" more during my CA trip...

Cost of postage adds up, especially for wedding invites, nothing wrong with saving a few dollars for people you see regularly.

I'm hand delivering to our parents, siblings who live locally, and bridal party. There are more that I could hand deliver, but I'm going to mail them because I want to. I think it's nice to get things in the mail that aren't spam, plus it's a little more fancy. I don't think its tacky to hand deliver, it just depends on the level of pomp and circumstance you want to give the delivery.

I hand delivered my 3 work ones and my neighbors. I couldnt justify putting a stamp on my next door neighbors invite.

I don't think it's tacky. I think it's more personal and couples actually use to hand deliver wedding invites.

I agree I dont think its tacky. I had friends and coworkers that I did not have their address so I hand delivered the STD. I made sure it was just as nice as the ones we mailed and explained to them I did not have their full home info. A few have given me that info which I will now use for the invites but there were still a few who did not offer me that info so I will be hand deliveing the invite and pray the address comes with the rsvp so I can mail the thank you, otherwise those will be hand delivered as well.

I will not be hand delivering any. It comes across as cheap to me.

Thanks ladies! I gave out most save the dates in person. I don't see the point in mailing something to someone you're going to see often unless its absolutely necessary.

Edit: If anyone seriously has a problem with me handing them an invitation they can stay home. I hate that weddings have been more about pleasing everyone except the two people the whole thing is supposed to be for.

I hand-delivered my STDs to my immediately family and my fiance's immediate family, as well as the friends in my bridal party. I figured it didn't really matter since they already know when it is lol and it saves me the stamp!

If you are doing it anyway, why do you care if it's tacky?

Elyse: I wanted to see if anyone else was doing it too.

If a guest thinks a hand delivered invitation is tacky or cheap, then they are over critical, probably judgmental and probably really hard to please in life.

Right

Lol @ Alicia. The typical "If my guest thinks it's a bad idea I don't want them there anyway" answer. [yawn]

I don't think it's tacky at all. I would be happy just to be invited to share someone's big day. I don't see what difference it makes how the invitation is delivered.

@Elyse - if that's what I wanted to say, I would have said it. But it's not. My mom is one of those people that would probably think it's tacky to hand deliver invitations, doesn't mean I don't want her there. Just means I'm not going to over concern myself with her opinion on that small matter. There are just some people you can't please, that's all.

I will not be hand delivering any. There are a lot I could have handed out at Christmas but as a guest I like getting that kind of stuff in my mailbox.

I also see the side where people just assume you are being thrifty with postage.

Yeah i mean i think we all have folks, close family and/or friends who wouldn't judge us to be 'cheap' for hand delivering an invitation.. its just not that big a deal
