How to Print Wedding Envelope Address Labels from Your Guest List
Wedding planning involves a million details, and addressing hundreds of Save-the-Dates or Invitations shouldn't be the thing that keeps you up at night. While hand-calligraphy is beautiful, it's expensive and time-consuming.
The modern solution? Beautifully designed, custom-printed address labels (or directly printing on envelopes) using your digital guest list.
Step 1: Organize Your Guest List
You likely already have your guests in a spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel) to track RSVPs. Ensure it has these columns:
- Name(s): "Mr. & Mrs. John Doe" or "Jane Smith & Guest"
- Address: "123 Love Lane"
- City, State, Zip: "New York, NY 10012"
Step 2: Choose Your Look
Decide on your aesthetic before you print.
- Clear Labels: Give a "printed on the envelope" look but act as stickers. Great for colored envelopes.
- Wrap-Around Labels: Long labels that wrap from the front (address) to the back (return address).
- Custom Fonts: Use script fonts that match your wedding invitations.
Step 3: Design with SheetsToLabels
Don't use a boring standard address label template.
- Upload your guest list to the Designer.
- Select Fonts: Choose from our library of elegant serif or handwritten script fonts.
- Add Flourishes: Upload a small icon or your wedding monogram to place next to the address.
- Center Alignment: Unlike business mail, wedding addresses look best center-aligned.
Step 4: Special Tips for Weddings
The "Couple" Problem
Make sure your "Name" column handles couples correctly.
- Bad: Row 1: John, Row 2: Jane (Same Address) -> Prints two labels.
- Good: Row 1: John & Jane Doe -> Prints one label.
Return Addresses
You can print your return address on the same label (small, at the top or bottom) or create a separate run of smaller labels for the back flap.
Print a Test Sheet
Always print one sheet on plain paper first. Hold it up to the light against your label paper to ensure the alignment is perfect before using your expensive clear or textured label stock.
