One of the questions we are asked frequently is whether it is considered acceptable etiquette to print invitation envelopes on the computer. My answer?  While it may be socially acceptable to print envelopes on the computer, it is not proper etiquette.  Whether you hire a calligrapher, or simply use a nice pen and address them yourself, you should address both the inner and outer envelopes by hand.  The outside envelope contains the full mailing address of the recipients, and the inner envelope contains the names of all the specific individuals invited.  Along the same lines, the outer envelope should have the sender's return address either professionally printed by the stationer, or be handwritten as well -- no computers and absolutely no labels!
