I was motivated to ask these questions after reading a recent post regarding having guests address their own thank you envelopes...which I think is one of the most tacky shower practices...by the way.
I'm throwing a shower for my daughter soon. I've printed address labels from the computer with the guests addresses, to use on the invitations. Is this considered a no-no?
My other question...I changed the font (so they'd look a little different) and printed a second set to give my daughter to use on her thank you notes to make it easier from her. Am I in violation with the etiquette police?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Re: Printed labels for shower invitations?

Sorry. Accidentally hit post.
But what I was trying to say was agreed! I have awful hand writing!
Exactly this.
When I host a shower, I usually provide the guest of honor with a sheet of pre-printed address labels for all of the guests and a box of thank you notes that coordinate with the invitations I used. (I include every name/address that was sent an invite, because sometimes people will send a gift to the house if they're not able to attend the shower, I'm already giving her the whole sheet of labels, might as well use them all.) I love using the large oval labels from Paper Source (link below) and then I'll sometimes make a batch of coordinating return address labels with the MTB's address as well. Making the Thank You note writing easier for the guest of honor is not an issue, asking guests to do work is.
