To do and not to do

Some things to know while you are addressing your invitations whether you are doing it yourself or having a friend do it, or better yet is to have an addressing party if you can not work calligraphy into your budget.

Definitely use waterproof ink or permanent ink so water drops do not ruin your outer envelope.

Hand Address those envelopes....you do want to let guests know that there presence at your wedding is important to you, so make it personal. Hand addressing no matter how you slice it is more personal.

Do not use nicknames (unless you are having a small very non-traditional wedding)

Titles are acceptable: Mr. Mrs. Miss, Ms., Dr. is acceptable however this is a choice that you will have to make when you are writing out your guest list. Your envelopes may not accommodate the lengthy wording.

If you are going to write out Jr., use a lower case "j" i.e. junior.

Make your envelopes classy with wax seals, embellishments, etc.

Remember to STAMP your response envelope

There WILL be MISTAKES, do NOT scratch through it. Use a new envelope and start fresh.

Note**you should always order the additional 25 extra envelopes with your invitationss at the time of purchase.

If you have help addressing, make sure that whoever writes the address on the outer envelope also does the inner envelope too.

If you are going to go with a calligrapher...DO NOT WAIT until the last minute. You will be glad that you took this advice, also a calligrapher can take the stress and worry out of your addressing. .

SHOP AROUND AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU FIND SOMEONE THAT YOU LIKE

Rachel also offers standard addressing that is absolutely beatiful
