Can I use mailing labels on my wedding invitations? This is a question that is frequently asked by brides. Although it is an easy solution to addressing your wedding invitation envelopes, in my professional opinion it is not recommended.

Handwritten envelopes are a nice way of letting your guests know you have taken the time to personally address their envelope.  It falls into the guidelines of wedding invitation etiquette and makes your invitations special.  Handwritten calligraphy adds a magical quality to your wedding invitations. They are so spectacular you can hardly wait to open them. If you want the feel of handwritten calligraphy but don’t want to spend the money on this custom service you can print your guests name and address using a calligraphy font.  Many companies are introducing envelope icing labels for you outer envelopes. They make the invitation special and add a nice touch especially if you aren’t comfortable or have the time to hand address your envelopes.  You can purchase envelope icing labels with the guest name printed or a spot to hand address your envelopes.
