Who's name goes on the return address label?

LauraM, on May 12, 2016 at 4:34 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

I'm about to send out save the date magnets and wanted to put return address labels on the envelopes. Am I supposed to put mine and FH's name on them? Or just mine? We already live together.

    I ordered a stamp that listed us by our first names with our address. I went this route so I could use it before and after the wedding, and I hadn't made my mind up about changing my name when I ordered it.

    My sweet FH put Mr. & Mrs. HisLast. Oops, lol. I would do First & First with the address like Lindsey.

    I ordered return stickers that just say C & S with our address. We live together also. I avoided last names altogether!

    ETA: I got these from Wedding Paper Divas

    I got a stamp with FH's last name and our address. We used it even before we got engaged for Christmas cards!

    The stamp has been a life saver for time. I really recommend it. You can get a monogram with address too. For now both whole names are fine.

    Eta autocorrect

    I used our first names only and our address.

    I actually ordered a stamp through Etsy and I love it. Similar to the one in the picture.

    We used just our first names, too, and our label said C + R on the side. They looked nice. Got them from vistaprint.

    We did both our first and last names. We used the short form of our names though.

    I put mylastname-hislastname wedding and my parents address since we aren't living together yet and it's easier if everything comes to me.

    Is it ok to just have my future last name with the address for the return address stamp?

    I addressed our return addresses like I do on any envelop for my save the dates. (My Last/His Last and then the address). Its just habit at this point to do that. I'll probably do something a little nicer for when I do the formal invitations.

    We each live in our own homes currently so I just used my name/address. Though admittedly I didn't put much thought into this. Perhaps both our first names and my address would have been better!
