There are a lot of debates when it comes to Christmas cards.
Photo cards vs. traditional cards. Christmas letter vs. handwritten note. Mailed cards vs. ecards. But I’ve never seen anyone discuss handwriting the address on the envelope vs. printing labels.
I’ve been sending cards out for about twenty-four years. For all those years, I handwrote the address on each envelope. However, this year, I entered all my Christmas card addresses into Excel and made sure I had the correct address for everyone. There were a lot of errors.
I did a mail merge in Word, and I’m printing labels this year. My hubby thinks I should handwrite the envelopes like always. I receive envelopes addressed both ways, and I don’t care. What do you prefer?
Do you handwrite your envelope addresses? Do you use labels? Have you ever considered doing something different? Do you feel that labels are impersonal? Let me know in the comments. I’ve already printed my labels this year, but I can always change back next year if it matters.
