Do I need to print the return address on the back of the envelope?

Printing the return address is an important piece of your wedding invitations. A properly addressed envelope has both the recipient’s address in the center of the envelope and a return address. The return address can appear in the upper left corner, or on the back of the envelope.

The purpose of the return address is two-fold:

First – if the envelope is undeliverable, the postmaster will return the envelope to you. This way, you can correct the problem, and re-mail the invitation to your guest.

Second – your guests will use the return address if they need to mail a gift.

These two purposes make it vital that you have the return address on your envelopes.

There are many ways to get the return address on your envelope.

1. You can have your invitation printer print the return address. When it is professionally printed, the work is done, requiring no additional time on your part. Additionally, you will not have any smudging or smearing of the address.
2. You can use an embossing tool or stamping tool and do the work on your own.
3. You can print labels and attach them to the envelope yourself.
4. You can hand-write the addresses.
