Is hand delivering invitations tacky?

I don' think its tacky at all...I'm going to hand deliver as many as I can. If its tacky, call me tacky then haha

I'm nervous that it's tacky! I'm hand delivering the one's in my office. Everyone is invited (My office is small, 9 people) so no feelings will be hurt for a non-invite. Besides, they are all men and I can't imagine any of them thinking "this is so tacky"

It's crazy on here lol. Personally I want to see the look on people's faces when they get the invitation. I worked hard on them; designed & printed them myself. Rolled the scrolls & wrapped the ribbons before putting them in boxes I folded & glitter spray painted. This wedding is like a full-time time job, I should've read through forum posts on here before planning my wedding. I would've just done a really small wedding.

It's ok to hand deliver invitations to people that you see on a regular basis. Everyone else would get their invitations in the mail.

I am hand delivering as many as possible. We live in a small town where I see the people we are inviting everyday.

I actually do not see at all how it's tacky, unless it's putting the other person at some sort of inconvenience. Why is it cheap to be more personal when a formal invitation is still enclosed in the envelope? I only read page 1, but I'd love to hear an good explanation on how it's tacky.

@LadyMonk I gave my personal reasoning on page 2

Ok, I saw it now Elyse! I like the guideline from The Knot that was posted.

I don't think it's tacky but it's pretty informal. My wedding will be informal but im mailing (75 guests so small stack)

Something this legit and awesome is perfect for real mail. Hand delivering reminds of the MTV sweet sixteen shows where they hand deliver to preshowoff.

I do have a group of guy friends that live together and they refused to check the mailbox so the post office locked it and don't deliver anything. They will get a and delivery. But only because that are lame men children.

I hand delivered to my parents and MOH just because I worked really hard on the invites and wanted to see people's reactions to them. Oh, and one other guest got his delivered cause he was at our house when the stack was ready to be mailed out. Everyone else went in the mail though. It's way easier, and getting good mail is fun. I don't think it's tacky, but I do think it's a bit disappointing as a guest.

I don't think it is. If you see some of your guests on a regular basis, like co-workers, roommates, neighbors, etc., I think it would totally be appropriate to hand deliver.

I don't think it's tacky, but I LOVE (like really hyper Labrador retriever-human) getting mail, so I'm sending it because mail (that's not junk) brightens my day and I'd love to brighten anyone else's!

Only read comments on page 1.

I dont think it is tacky at all. It would be so silly to pay for postage for an envelope when they live 2 minutes away from you. I live in a very, very small town. I can drive across it in 10 minutes. I hand delivered all of mine. Nobody cared, and i didnt want to waste money on postage lol!

OH : I obviously mailed out the envelopes for the people who do not live in town!

I don't see how it's tacky, I'm not mailing invites to my co-workers, I see them everyday, I'll hand deliver it to them. I can't see mailing an invite to my neighbor, I'll just put it in their mailbox. it's whatever you want to do.

I would think hand delivering something to someone would be more personal than mailing.

I don't think it's tacky either. My fiance and I are handing out as many as we can. It saves a lot with postage. Plus, I think its very personal. I love seeing the look on their faces when they recieve the invite, even our parents who obviously expected one had a cute reaction.

Absolutely not

This is hilarious. I truly couldn't care less if someone delivered an invitation by hand to me or by mail. Good lord.

I think it's fine!! To me it seems much more personal, especially because most likely you'll be hand delivering them to the people you see most often and may be closer with. This process never occurred to me but I'm totally going to do this too! Pinching pennies where i can!

I think it would be a little weird to receive a hand delivered invitation, but not tacky. I will be mailing all of mine.

I hand delivered a few of my Save the Dates. My mom, and my neighbors on my block, my sister, and my MOH all received theirs by hand. They will likely receive their invitations the same way, but they will be complete invitations. I give no wits if someone thinks that is tacky.
