Especially if you are custom ordering a stamp, I would go with your address and both your names. Then you can use it after the wedding.
@tksjewelry: Do I include our last names, or would it be appropriate to just put our first? If we want to use it after I'd rather not have my maiden name in there
@MrsNerdy: If your parents are hosting/paying for most of the wedding, I think technically their address should go on the invites. That's what we did. If you go that route, maybe you can give them the stamp as a thank you gift?
You could use just the last name or Mr. & Mrs. Soandso, I just got an invitation with a stamp on the back that used the mr & mrs. , the only thought I gave to it was where they ordered it from because it was a beautiful stamp. You could also just use the address part of the stamp by covering up the names with painters tape.
Are your parents looking after the RSVPs? If not, I would make the return stamp for your own house, regardless if they're "hosting" or not. Just makes sense not to have a middle man handling your invites.
Good question. We are going to have to do these in a month so I need to know too. I was thinking of using my parents names so I don't have to worry about using just my name. My parents and I are paying for most of the wedding if not pretty much all of it.
Well my parents are paying for a majority of the wedding (probably 75%), I am paying for some, and FI and his parents for some as well. I will be handeling the RSVPs, and FI and I are moving from Austin (where my parents live and where the wedding is) to Houston this weekend (actually FI is already there, so I have the address and everything). If I order a stamp I am thinking of doing it with just FI and I's first names... ah i don't know! We have a tricky situation I guess
Since my FI is moving next spring and I will be moving in after the wedding, we decided my name and address. Plus hes hardly home and Im always home(when Im not working),so getting packages and mail would be much better coming to me then him.
It all depends on your circumstances.
With yours I would use your address and your own name. Make it simple for yourself. :)
Technically, etiquette says your parents' address should go there if they're hosting. But as long as your parents won't get offended, you can probably put whatever you want!
Actually, etiquette is a good deal more practical than most people think. The correct return-address to use, is that of the person who is responsible for collating the replies. In a more gracious age, that was as likely (and as acceptable) to be a socialite's social secretary as to be the socialite herself. You don't need to put a name on the return address at all, just the street address. All replies will (properly, at least) be addressed to the hostess who was named at the top of the invitation, even if "she" is receiving them at someone else's mailing address and even if someone else is slitting open the envelope and putting the appropriate checkmark into her visiting-book.
Which reminds me, it is past time to haul out my visiting book, and write some Christmas cards.

Okay I know this is a dumb question, but what return address should be used on my wedding invitations? Am I supposed to put my own address, with just my name, or mine and my FI's name (we live together which is not a secret in the families)? OR am I supposed to address them from my father and mother, since they are the "hosts" of the wedding? I want to order a custom stamp from esty, but can't seem to figure this one out. thanks!
