Y’all, I’m going in a hundred directions right now! I can’t get a grip on anything. I guess there are too many decisions I need to be making, like, right now.
So I need your help. I know you haven’t seen any of my stationery; I’m holding out because I want to have them finished before I show y’all everything, but I’m struggling with this one niggling decision.
Like Miss Sushi (and several other bees), we too are using labels. Our envelopes are black and I have awful handwriting and no desire to hire a calligrapher. We’re also using #10 envelopes, so I have a very long, skinny area to work with. Without giving away too much, I’m using the same font throughout the suite. I had no intention of using a script font until a few days ago, and I really just wanted to see what I thought. And now I’m not sure.
So here are my label mock-ups.
Version #1: All the same great block font that’s used throughout the invitation suite
Verison #2: Same great label, now with the best matching script I could find
So, what do you guys think?

I like version #1
#2
LOVE the first one. And thank you for posting. We are using a travel/compass rose theme for our wedding and this is a great design!
I like version #1, looks more cohesive with fewer fonts… and I say this out of love and desire to save you trouble/pain, but double-check the spelling of “recipient” before you print…
Version 1. easier to read and also using the same font throughout holds everything together.
I like #1 the best. I agree that it looks more cohesive and it is easier to read.
Version 1
I think 1 matches the compass better, 2 is a little too flowery for the straight lines. Also, 1 helps your ‘J&M’ stand out a little more.
I agree, #1 works best
The first one–being that your space is small you want a block font for legibility. Plus it looks more elegant.
I like #1
I like the script version. It’s more formal and fun!
I generally am a fan of script, but I think version 1 works much better with the compass and your return address font.
I agree that #1 is the best!
Like most everyone else- I think #1 looks better. With the compass motif the script kind of gets lost. The block font stands out better.
Another vote for #1. It really balances the whole thing.
While I’m usually partial to script, I am going to go for the cohesive look of #1. Nice design!
I personally like #1 better because to me it is clearer. The script font in #2 may be difficult to read if you are only working with a small space and with USPS we want everything to run clearly and smoothly!!
I love the design! I like #1 better. And you’ve probably already caught this, but there’s a typo in recipient.
I like #1 better, and I agree that it’s easier to read than the script.
What I did with my labels is use script for their name but block print for the address (so it’s easier for the mail man to read).
[...] Plus, I also fell in love with Martha’s wrap around labels early on. I asked the hive for some help designing them a few months back, and decided to go with one font for [...]

About Me: I'm a perfectionist trying to balance two jobs, motherhood, my craft obsession, and wedding planning. I am obsessed with all things wedding, especially creative ideas for saving money and DIY projects. A Southern Belle at heart, I love anything southern, especially sweet tea, grits, afternoon thunder storms, crab cakes, and good old Southern hospitality. Mr. Crab Cake and I are planning a vintage inspired wedding with tons of Southern flare (can y'all say that with a thick Southern drawl?).
