A Guide to Envelope Etiquette
Formal Correspondence: For business or formal events, the return address is traditionally placed on the back flap of the envelope. However, placing it on the top-left front is also widely accepted and often preferred for machine processing by postal services.
Informal Correspondence: For personal letters, the rules are more relaxed. The top-left corner for the return address is most common and practical.
Titles and Names: For formal mail, use full names and appropriate titles (e.g., "Mr. John Smith" or "Dr. Jane Doe"). For informal mail, first and last names are perfectly fine.
Choosing the Right Envelope Size
Different envelope sizes are designed for specific purposes. Here’s a quick guide to the options available in this tool:
- #10: The standard business envelope, perfect for letter-sized paper (8.5" x 11") folded in thirds.
- #6 3/4: A smaller, common size often used for personal correspondence, invoices, or statements.
- A4: A versatile size often used for invitations, greeting cards, and announcements.
- DL: A popular international size, slightly longer and slimmer than the #10, also for letter-sized paper folded in thirds.
