Is It Tacky To Use Labels On Wedding Invitations?

Wedding invitation address labels are stickers that display names and addresses to make mailing invitations easier. While they may appear tacky compared to calligraphy or handwriting, they are not considered rude. Handwriting is traditionally preferred for wedding invitations, but many couples are now using address labels for guests, return addresses, or both.

To address your wedding invitations, check the rules and prices of your postal service before buying supplies or postage. Printing labels may seem more efficient and less labor-intensive, but it is important to consider the overall impression you want to make with your invitations.

When addressing wedding invitations, follow a code of conduct to ensure that all necessary information is included. For example, specify the date, time, and location in an Excel spreadsheet and import it into MS Word. Customize the size of the envelope in MS Word and print directly on them.

A well-informed guest is a happy guest, so make sure to keep them informed about the date, time, and location. Printed labels are generally not appropriate, as they may take longer to reach the recipient due to postal scanners struggling with gold ink. Calligraphy done by computer directly on the envelope is gaining popularity and acceptability.

In summary, wedding invitation address labels are a simple and effective way to address wedding invitations without the need for handwriting. However, it is important to consider the overall impression you want to make with your invitations and to adhere to proper etiquette when mailing them.
