Addressing Invitations

Since most weddings in our Buffalo area consist of over 100 guests it is important to consider how you will address your envelopes. Below are some suggestions.
WRITE THEM YOURSELF:
Okay, this allows you to get them done at your own pace. However, if you’re planning on having the Bridal Party assist in this task, you may wish to consider their handwriting skills. Not everyone has elegant and legible handwriting.
CALLIGRAPHER:
Easily obtain beautiful and professional results. Make sure this option is considered in the budget as Calligraphers can be costly.
PRINT THEM YOURSELF:
Usually able to match font to what your invitations have been printed with and task completed in a timely fashion. A good quality printer will give the best results.
PRINTED LABELS:
Although considered easy and quick they lack the elegance for a sophisticated wedding invitation. Labels leave a cheap and impersonal impression for your guests. In addition, labels are easily attached crooked.
HOW TO?
When addressing envelopes everything should be spelled out with the exception of titles, such as Mr., Mrs., etc.
