I finally sat down and imported all my addresses into Avery labels. I don't care if it's "tacky"; that's a lot of time saved over the years!
Do you hand address cards/invites? Pay the card company to do it? Use self stick labels?

I use Avery labels too. I don't think it's tacky. At least we are getting our cards out
Handwriting the addresses would take so long!

I hand write the addresses, just have always done that. I wouldn't be opposed to printing them in the future and I don't think anyone would care.

I use minted. They address for free. You just upload your contact list.

Minted addressed them for me. For free!
I missed a few and had to handwrite 3.

I use Minted so they print them on for free, but I don't think using labels is tacky at all!

Usually hand write but this year I did Kraft labels with a handwriting like font. Feels nicer to me even though it does the same thing as white labels.

I handwrite. It takes forever. I don't mind getting the printed labels on our cards at all, though! I did ask for an address stamp for Christmas this year.

I have always hand written because I suck at getting things formatted for Avery labels and now we don't have a printer! But even better last year I used minted and their free address printing! Planning to use them for birth announcements in a few weeks and have updated my spreadsheet from last year so I can just upload it.
No judgments on labels on Christmas cards from me. I don't like them so much for wedding invitations but who cares for holiday cards?

@mfa_lady: if you don't get the stamp, I see them on living social a lot. I got myself one for $17 I think. Figured it was worth it with birth announcements and new baby thank you notes coming up.

I hand write, but I never send out a ton. My printer crapped out this year though, so I can't print labels even if I needed to. No judgement here. I just love getting letters.

I use labels. I don't love the look, but figure most people barel look at the envelope...and I just don't have time right now to handwrite 75 or so envelopes....and I think the fees to have envelopes printed aren't worth it. Plus having hte card company do it would mean I have to have all the addresses good to go in advance, which I don't!
If you weren't on our card list last year or moved in the past year, you got a handwritten envelope because I won't have time to update the label template until after the holidays.
