Wedding Invitation Envelope Etiquette

[MrsDuck]

I'd hand write them or print the address on clear labels.

We just got a wedding invitation today that not only had the return addressed rubber stamped on it (!) but apparently she is already using his name. It says "Gary & Mary Barry" but the actual invitation lists their names as Marilyn Wynn Flynn and Gary Larry Barry. I will give them props for not including a little slip of paper with their registries listed on it. Not that they need a registry--they've been living together for 3 years. She's going to be almost 9 months pregnant (with her 5th baby!) at the wedding and YES! she is wearing a poufy white dress! His mother and grandmother are completely scandalized (you have to understand, they live in a very rural part of a Deep South state, where things like that are Just Not Done.) Whatever. It's an outdoor wedding. I'll wear my sunglasses so no one will see me rolling my eyes.

Honestly, you can't make this stuff up

Do tell if the bride goes into labor during the ceremony!

I hired a calligrapher.

I am a firm believer in following etiquette with handwritten envelopes. Congratulations on your wedding.
