Labels for Save the Dates

Hey everyone! I’m trying to get some feedback about doing clear labels for the save the dates... is this tacky or frowned upon? I tried printing the addresses directly on the envelopes, but of course my printer won’t do it on small envelopes! My handwriting isn’t good enough to handwrite them. What...

    I know this is not a popular opinion, but I think any type of label is tacky... so sorry! Ask a friend, sister, BM, mom, grandma or anyone that has nice handwriting to write the envelopes. I honestly would rather have a poorly written envelope addressed to me than a label. It just seems to me to be the easy way out. At least your handwriting will be a little piece of you in the invite even if it isn't "neat". Sorry again.. I am a calligrapher and have a pet peeve.

    No need to apologize! Thanks so much for the feedback! I was wondering when someone was going to say it! The only friend I have who is a calligrapher lives like 7 hours away Smiley sad BUT I am going to figure something out for these gosh darn save the dates!

    Daughter and I were just discussing this issue today.

    I was going to address her envelopes (handwriting is decent), but after seeing her invitations, I'm afraid my handwriting would actually take away from the look. So she might do labels in the same font as the invitations. I'm sorry if it's tacky. We might need to just be tacky on this one thing?

    The world will still go round, right?

    Thanks everyone! Just FYI, I used clear labels for the save the dates and they came out great! We’re looking at the all-in-one invitations from Minted, which will have everything printed on there for you!!
