Invites? How to address...

[kobfield2007]

Okay I have a bit of a dilemna. We're ordering our invites in November, eventhough our wedding isn't until June, because my mom's friend is handwriting/caligraphying (is that even a word?) all 250 invites. So she needs a head start. Here's my problem. We currently still live with our parents. But when we place the order we're going to need an address on the response cards envelopes. Would it be tacky to just put an address label on there with the address when we get our own place?? We're going to have to do it with our invites, but I'm not sure if it will look bad on the response card envelopes.
Thanks!

I would suggest that if you used a label for the response cards to go with the clear ones..

Thats a lot of writing for your moms friend to do..

250 invitations are alot... are you having a big wedding?? thats an average of two people per invite...

i agree~!! wow
my FH and are are trying to cut it back to 120-150....~!!

Yeah we're having a huge wedding. My mom is the youngest of 5 and each of those 5 have at least 3 kids and some of those kids have kids. And my dad is the oldest of 4 and all those kids have 3 kids and a few of them have kids of their own already too. Plus there's my grandparents and their siblings with whom I'm really close too. It added up really quickly. But either way we have to have 200 min. for the hall. I told my mom's friend and so did my mom that there's a lot and she said that's fine, she used to it. I'm greatful for her offer, she will get something in the end. We have a few people helping us out with stuff and we're getting something for all those people.

But thanks. I forgot about clear address labels. I forgot they exist. Thanks. It's better then a white label which would look really bad!! :)

Clear labels will work just fine. Something else to consider: who will be handling the response cards as they come in? If that will be your mom, or it will be you & you live in the same city as your parents, you might want the response cards mailed to your parents' address anyway, even if you are living elsewhere by then.

Just a thought.

We thought about that, but my dad and my mom don't live together and neither of them are in good living positions. I live with my mom and my grandpa (my mom's dad) and my grandpa despises my FH so we can't have them mailed here b/c he'll throw them away probably. And as for my father, I don't see him often and where he lives, they are in the process of possibly selling the land and he'll probably have to relocate. We don't want his parents to have anything to do with the wedding, otherwise we'd send them there. Chances are though, they'd lose them, not give them to us, or ruin them, or they'll come to us smelling like they'd been through a smoke factory (yuck!! no offense to those of you who smoke). In the end we're probably going to ust use the clear labels. I'm a yutz and forgot there are clear labels out there.. :) Besides that, I think we're going to be in charge of all the invites and what not.

Thank you!!

Another possible idea is renting a post office box..

but I agree clear labels are nicer than white..

don't forget to keep an invite for yourself....
