How should I address the envelope for my thank you notes? Do I need to include a title, with Mr. and Mrs. or Dr., for example? Or can I just address them with their names? Also, would it be rude to have the addresses printed on the evelopes rather than hand writing them? Any advice would be greatly appreciate!!
Re: Thank you note help
The only etiquette I've heard with thank you's really is getting them out within 3 months of the wedding. You don't need to include a title and printing the address is probably fine.
I didn't use titles on mine and handwrote the addresses.

We made ours very casual. Like, I have an aunt and uncle - Rodney & Jennifer - and we put "Rod & Jennifer M___" on the outer envelope and "Dear Aunt Jen and Uncle Rod," as the heading in the note itself.
There's really no wrong way to say "thank you".
Yes, what Rock said. Addressed the envelopes by regular names (Craig and Nancy M.), and addressed the notes with "Dear [however I usually address them in person]".
And good grief, just write the addresses out. It's the last wedding task you have to do, so just do it.

I always believe that you should address the envelope formally. It can never hurt to use good ettiquette...and some people can be offended if you don't. Save the more personal salutation for the inside of the note, just as you addressed invitations formally on the outer envelope and less formally on the inner envelope.
Also, printed labels would be alright if done correctly. If you have plain white envelopes, regular labels would be fine, but I recommend the clear address labels for anything else. They look less "manufactured" so to speak. It also would help to use a font that looks more like handwriting than a term paper! LOL
Hope this helps!
