Return address stamp?!

Mrs.G, on January 5, 2014 at 9:39 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 16

Ok ladies since the invitations are next to order, I'm thinking of ordering a custom stamp because I am not writing out the return address lol

So with that said should I get a stamp that has our last name initial

With our first names?

Or should I just do Nicole and Michael with the address?

What do you think?

    I ordered a beautiful stamp from Etsy that just had our first names. I will order a 2nd stamp for when we are married, and we actually have the same last name.

    I wanted to do this, and would just put our first names. However, we're planning on moving soon after the wedding, so I'm not sure if it's worth it just for invites? I might get sticker labels instead...undecided.

    I ordered this one from Etsy, but I am just having our first names on it. The letter on the pillow will be our married last name.

    I put first initial, last name. people will know exactly who we are by last name. there are lot of Shannons in the world, but not many Alderfers. they say " S. Alderfer and T. Hokula"

    I ordered a custom stamp from Etsy with just our first names. After we get married I might order another one with our last name, although, the custom stamp doesn't stamp as well as I'd like.

    Yes I'm looking into etsy I found the stamp I want it's a monogram (G) for our last name and then our first names on the bottom with address just didn't know if it was bad luck to have the last name already

    I ordered one with just our first names but I've seen others that have done "The Smith-Jones Wedding" or "The Future Mr. and Mrs. Jones" if you'd like more than your first names.

    I got a PSA Essentials one as a wedding gift which is sold in multiple places online and brick & mortar stores. It's a bit more money, but worth it because you can actually easily switch between stamps (and reusable). If you're really crafty, it's great to use because you can put holiday themes on with the address, use it for gifts as a tag, etc. Just google PSA Essentials.

    ETA: Why I suggested this is because you can have your address in an outer ring, and before you're married use one of the loves one (birds, toasting flutes, etc they have a ton). Once you're married you can use the monogram one with your new last name.

    Etsy has some beautiful options. I really love the shop named LemonTreePaperCo. The shop owner was quick in replying and the shipping was really good. Our stamp was stunning!

    Like all the ladies, I am ordering a stamp from Esty. However, I am addressing it as "The Montgomery Family"

    We ordered one!

    It just has both of our first names on it followed by our address.

    Once we get married we can get a new one that's monogrammed.

    I'm not sure where you are ordering your invites from, but I just got the matching envelopes from Vistaprint that had our return address printed on it, for both the invitation and RSVP envelope. They weren't that expensive and it was definitely worth it. I used our just our first names.

    I bought 500 labels from staples for $15. I will print my own labels and still have lots left over.
