Printing away

The Q: "Is it ok to print names & addresses on my invitations? Will I be seen as rude & lazy?"

The A:Well, here is a fact, nothing is as nice as calligraphy for a wedding invitation. Nothing says wedding, nor looks as pretty or "classy" for lack of a better word. However, nothing costs quite the same either.

So, when you say printing, I am assuming you mean computer printing. I, while not a fan of digital calligraphy, do appreciate that more than, let's say, running the envelopes off on your office printer. First of all because they can match fonts from your invitation and 2nd of all, the print quality is better. At about $1 an envelope, it's worth the splurge.

All of this is to say, NONE OF YOUR GUESTS WILL PROBABLY CARE OR NOTICE. It's true! They will notice if it's fabulous (believe me, they will) but if it's lackluster, it won't register as bad or rude, it just simply WON'T REGISTER with your guests. The envelope will simply be tossed away! So, go for the best quality your budget can afford, but don't worry about your HP laser jet offending people.

PS, what is tacky are Avery labels. Don't do it.

Happy Mailing!

Oh no!!! I was totally planning on printing my engagement party + wedding invite labels on clear avery labels- in the same font as the invite wording.. is that totally unacceptable? I thought it looked ok as the labels are super clear and you can barely tell they are there, but, well, they are. help please!
