Invitations - Address Labels or Handwriting Addresses

View Quoted Comment I love these! So nice and elegant

Just a note, be prepared with extras if you're handwriting! My FH handwrote our save the date addresses, and he flubbed a few envelopes. Thankfully we had extras!

I hand wrote the addresses for our save-the-date but would've done address labels. We just decided to save money since we didn't really need them.

We bought clear labels and printed out those.

We both have terrible handwriting and didn't trust ourselves to make that many legible.

There was enough in the packages for us to do our thank yous, as well!

The hand writing on this is beautiful! You're quite good. My hand writing looks like a drunken squirrel wrote it

View Quoted Comment Aw, thank you! And I'm sure yours looks great! It just took time for me to get all the swooshes right haha.

Haha!

What did you use to do it, if you don't mind me asking?

View Quoted Comment A fine point sharpie. And lots of pencil markings and rules and erasers! I tried using a calligraphy pen first, but wow that's a skill I do not have. It was easier to just thicken some lines here and there and add a flourish every so often!

I got a package of white labels and used the inline template to print those out. They looked great on the envelopes for my save the dates and it cost $8

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and suggestions! I went back and forth for a long time but decided since I would've had to write out 60 invites and 60 RSVP response envelopes, I ended up getting address labels and printing them! The process of creating them was easy and I know it will take no time at all to label everything tonight and get them in the mail tomorrow!

The stationary company we are using does offer label printing and we will be using them for this service and then some! If you are going to be doing all the work yourself, I would use labels. Order some fancy clear ones off the internet or have some made and stick away!! I think hand writing all of the envelopes (outer and inner for RSVP) will become very tedious work and I know it's not something I would be interested in doing alone either.

I am having mine printed on the envelopes. I don't have the best handwriting, plus it saves time.
