Save the Date Postcards - Addressing

I hand addressed my save the date post cards. It really didn't take me that long. If you go that route make sure the pen you use is waterproof. I tested the first pen in bought and it wasn't. The ink rubbed off when it got wet.

If you do labels I would suggest clear labels not white.

I think it's up to you. We had about 125 save the dates and 3 of us addressed them in under 30 minutes. They are informal enough that you could do label addresses, but like Natalie suggested I'd go with clear labels.

I think the white labels on an off-white wouldn't look so pretty. Can you get clear labels instead? Personally I prefer handwriting but I know it's not everyone's thing. My handwriting is pretty terrible so I took a lot of time to write out each address as neatly as I could.

Thank you so much for feedback...I would go with clear but there are lines on the postcard already. I may just have to hand-write them for that reason alone.

I handwrote mine, I had about 110. It really didn't take that long with me and MOH doing them.

Handwrite them

Unless you are familiar with labels they can be a pain to print anyway. And with handwriting you can do a few at a time.

You can buy clear labels at Staples.

Wait... So I shouldn't use labels on my invitations? Well shoot. There goes that plan...

I used larger than normal clear labels, 2'x3" i believe. looked great and was legible for the post office even in a nice font

I've been wondering this too. I have such bad handwriting that I think it would take away from the personal touch it gives. Also, I kind of dropped the ball on save the dates. I wanted to send them out this month, but I'm still waiting on a proof so writing a few at a time isn't really an option.

So the census is clear labels are acceptable?

I'm using clear labes and will create a really cute return label. Something similar to the STD design; with the same font and colors. I'll be sending mine out next month.

I got clear labels at Staples and printed them off the computer. Just make sure you let them dry for a while. Otherwise they can smudge a little bit.
