Personally I think a nice font and clear lables are
a nice touch and it looks neater than any writing I have
seen...ofcourse if you only have a small amount of
invitations and your caligraphy is good then that would
be good as well...for me I'm sticking with the good ole
ink jet  my friend lately!

| Oh, thank goodness! I read an etiquette column that used the "t"-word, and stated that labels were impersonal and shouldn't be used on invitations... hire a calligrapher instead... and I was like are you kidding me??? I feel so much better now.

I was having the same problem AlanaBanana! Then it occured to me... think back to all of the invitations to weddings you have been to. Do you remember if they were hand written or if there were labels on them? I can't! And neither will any of your guests in about 2 weeks. Spare yourself some time and print them off! Just my thought....

| clear labels is the way tto go! Dont even stress about that, cause honestly I dont think there is a right or wrong way! If if there was a RIGHT way (which is handwriting) haha, too DAMN BAD  Like M said, the labels are so much more easier to do. If you pick a nice font on the PC, its gonna look great! Christalla

| If you were to do everything 'by the book' and 'followed the rules' then yes, it should be handwritten. But, I'm sure you aren't doing everything as ms. Emily Post has suggested..so really, it will look fine. I bet hardly anyone will noticed if you hand wrote it or had it on a clear label. Don't forget though to make sure the postal code is in a more simple typewriter font as the fancy fonts might effect the sorting process with Canda Post.

| oh my goodness, i can't honestly imagine anyone giving a turd one way or the eother. so don't sweat it. i cant even remember if any invitation i ever got was handwritten or typed. i'm typing out mine!!! I think many people do now anyway. maybe that notion is a little outdated? it might be a nice touch, but hardly necessary. i say spend money and time where it will be more appreciated!

| My hand writing looks like cat scratches but my FMIL has offered to address my invitations for me. Luckily for her there will only be about 40 invitations. Does the same thing go for save the date cards and thank yous as well?
