The Personal Element:

The worst of all mistakes is to use adhesive labels to address your wedding invitations. This is considered very tacky. In the absence of calligraphy address, the addresses should be hand written.

Gifts Galore:

Gifts and money form a major subject of controversy in wedding invitation etiquette. Bridal shower invitation alone should state where you are registered but not the wedding invitation.

You should never request or expect money instead of gifts either on your wedding or bridal shower invitation or by word of month. This will be rude and tacky. Your wedding invitation is a request not for presents but gracious presence.
