A: Well, I am from the South too, and personally, I don't think it is absolutely necessary. GASP! Now, there is something to be said about a beautifully addressed envelope. Professional calligraphy is personable and very formal. It can cost anywhere from $1.00-1.50 for inner and outer envelopes. Your investment for professional calligraphy can be $2.50+ per envelope .
If you don't have the budget or the time to have a professional calligrapher address your invitations, then addressing yourself or running through the printer is perfectly acceptable.
An option that is becoming very popular to the modern bride are label wraps.
It's not for everyone, but it does add a level of design to your invitations. Just think of label wraps as a envelope decoration. This by no means allows you to use labels like you see on bulk mailings. It is extremely impersonal. It takes a little extra time, but addressing by hand, by printer or by wrap can be a personable and stylist way to send word of your special day.
