    What do you all think of embossing the return address on the back of the envelope flap?  Do you think it will withstand USPS (and UK Royal Mail)?

    USPS doesn't like it, but they're required to accept it -- no idea about UK Royal Mail.  We also embossed the back flap of our invites.  My invites were sent through the wringer, but the embossing is still completely legible!

    I embossed our address as both the return address on the invitations and the return address on the RSVP cards (used a custom stamp to address the RSVPs with our address).  We didn't have any invites come back, but I have also used the embossed return address on all of our Christmas cards and thank you notes since.  In that case, I did get something back no problemo.  The post office just circled the embossed return address and it came right back.

    I embossed our return address on all wedding correspondence, and now do for all cards and letters I send also. It looks so much cleaner! I've never had a problem, and I have had cards returned to me for one reason or another, so it seems to work fine.

    Where did you get your embossers?

    Paper source! It was good because they have interchangeable plates, so when we moved, we just ditched the old address plate without needing to get another embosser.

    any insights on whether embossing works better on light or dark envelopes?
