There is nothing more frustrating than receiving one of your unique wedding invitations back, with ugly postage markings all over it, because of an incorrect recipient address. To prevent this from happening, you should draft a recipient list early on during the wedding planning, before you have even received your printed order of unique wedding invitations. Use your address book, phone books and calls to the recipients themselves to make sure that everything is correct. Remember to ask about nicknames, titles and salutations (Jr., Sr., etc.). For street addresses, write out names in full, including states, and don't forget to ask about postal codes, apartment numbers and suite numbers. Preparing ahead of time can avoid costly mistakes that result in beautiful unique wedding invitations being stamped with "return to sender".
When you are ready to mail your unique wedding invitations, make sure that they are ready to go. Check the envelope's seal to make sure that it is firmly in place. Apply return address labels and correct postage (first class). Double check to make sure that addresses are correct. Finally, take your unique wedding invitations directly to the post office for mailing.
