Wrap around labels for invitation envelopes have become a stylish and fun way to address your invitations. BUT, I've heard stationers say their post office doesn't like them, that they don't conform, etc. I checked with my PO, and according to them, they were fine. So last week I used one on a 4.25 x 5.5 box. So when I went to mail out something the other day, they told me the box came back and went back out- because someone only saw the return address side and thought there was no postage on the box. Guess it didn't occur to them to flip it over. Luckily the box arrived to its correct destination a day or so late, but the lesson learned is easy- make sure it clearly states which is the return address, or position in such a way that it's obvious (if possible, like above). Labels are too new a thing to risk losing an invitation or having them returned because the machines or human sorting the mail don't realize what they are.
When in doubt- check with the post office. You won't be sorry :)
