Here's the situation: my co-workers were on my "plan b" list. We got our regular RSVP's back and it turns out we can invite my co-workers. It's a couple weeks away from the wedding, and I don't have any of their addresses. By the time I get them, mail them, and get them back it will practically be time for the wedding. I was just wondering if instead I could hand out all the invitations at our daily meeting at work. What do you think? Is handing out okay in this situation or should I mail them?BTW....only two of them are listed in the phone book so it's going to be time-consuming to visit each person at their desk and write down their address....I'm not trying to sound like it's a bother, it just sounds so much more practical to just hand them out.

It may not be ideal by the Emily Post style of etiquette, but I think they'd appreciate getting the information directly, so they can consider their plans and get back to you as fast as possible. Sometimes efficiency can trump formalities.

traditionally they are meant to be mailed but due to lack of time and addresses i think handing them out if just as nice.as long as you envelope them and do them up like you have the others.

Proper etiquette says to mail them. It is more formal and special. Ask your bridesmaid to get the addresses, that is what she is there for.

In this situation you better hand them to them...They well be grateful to be invited you would hope...You need to know ASAP if they are going and not on the day of the wedding.

Although mailing them may be classier you should hand them out because which is worse them not getting it or your pride?

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost. Wedding Ceremony Decoration Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority... Wedding Music Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances. Wedding Photography Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.

It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition Wedding Party The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
