What name do you put in the return address for invites?

Writing both of our names for the return address label seems way too excessive but I feel like it’d be weird to just write one or the other! What did you guys do for this?

    I'm debating between using The Future Mr. and Mrs. X and just using both first names.

    We used just our address, there was not enough room for names, lol.

    We would have just used "Orange and Blue" on first line, then the address.

    I don’t think it’s excessive to use both names. It’s only for the invitations. You could use first names only, as PPs suggested.
    I bought a stamp on Etsy with our new last name only, and our address. That’s what I’ve been using for our wedding stationary items.

    We put "The soon to be (our new last name)" We actually got labels made with that because it was a lot of writing and the labels were super cheap on amazon! Smiley smile

    I have generally seen both names of the couple or of the parents on the envelopes of invitations I have received. I do not believe that it will be problematic however you decide to label them as long as the postal service is able to deliver them appropriately. Happy planning!

    I got a stamp even though we are in the same situation as you (and about to move!). the stamp was less than ten bucks on vistaprint with sale so you can always check it out. It made our thank you card process easier for sure.

    We put both of our names. We got really cute return address labels from shutterfly to use. They had our names, address, and a small picture of us. We got them on sale and spent less than $20 on them.

    We bought a self-inking stamp from Zazzle for $10 (on sale) and it said:

    Sydney and FH

    Street Address

    City, State Zip


    We couldn't be happier with it! We also used it on our RSVP envelopes so we didn't have to write our address a million times.

    We were going to do first initials and last names but I like the first name idea
