Address justification

[luvthemstrawberries]

So, just a curious question. I haven''t been able to find any guidance as far as if there''s a "correct" way to do this. Does it matter which way you justify your addresses on invitations and such? I know the most common is left justification, but I have received a few lately for some things that are center justified. I sort of like the way center justification looks, but don''t quite know why - maybe just because it''s different, or because it looks a little prettier and not so business-like. Anyway... any thoughts?

I center them. I think it looks better in typing at least. Hand written, I think left justified..............

Mine were centered (hand-written calligraphy). Personally, I feel like left justified reminds me of regular mail and business letters.

The center justification looks better to me. Mine were handwritten w/ calligraphy as well.

That''s how it looks to me as well - very structured and business-like.

Thanks for the input so far guys!

Hey Dogmom! I still remember you too, haven't forgotten! I don't have room in the schedule right now, but volunteering with the doggies and other little animals is still on my list!!!

I like centered as well. I hand addressed the envelopes myself and I centered them.
