Labels for wedding invitations

No I'm not the one getting married!


One of my bosses is getting married this summer and she got her reutrn address labels and inivations done by a printer. However, that particular printer doesn't print out the guests' addresses as well.


She basically wants address labels that aren't cheesy (like no Precious Moments stuff), but still very wedding appropriate. She's looked on theknot.com but hasn't found anything to her liking.


Her inivtations are ecru and have a Rennaisance-classy feel to them. 


Examples and ideas would rock tremendously. Also if anyone in Los Angeles knows of a nice stationery store that would have a good selection of this kind of stuff, that would be great to know!

This may be beyond your say or input, but I have always heard that you should NEVER use address labels on your wedding invitations. They recommend hand-writing or having a calligrapher do it. I guess with this type of thing, its totally your bosses call.. but with me.. the Etiquette books rule!

She said that she doesn't want calligraphers and has no time to handwrite them.

In my opinion, labels to address wedding invites are very tacky. Can you or she use a printer to print the address directly onto the envelope?


Is she having any bridal party? She can pass along the duty of addressing the envelopes to one of her attendants? Or, how about the groom? Her mother, or her FMIL?


If you really must use labels, then I suggest using either white mailing labels, or clear celophane ones. I would try to draw as little attention to the label itself as possible.

If she changes her mind about a calligrapher, I can recommend an amazing guy.  He did my wedding invites and lots of people commented on his work.
