My finance and I come from a rural area where everyone has a post office box (All at the actual post office, none in group box at the end of the road). I estimate that around 50 invitations will be sent to people who get their mail at this post office. It seems wasteful to me to pay $0.50 an invitation and then another $.50 for replies, when all the staff have to do is take it out of our hand and place it in the right box number. Everyone lives close by and we see most people on a regular basis, my question is, given the circumstances is it too tacky or cheap to deliver the invitations by hand? I should add that we plan to mail the invitations to people who are not in our town, but we were also thinking of hand delivering invitations to those who are invited from our place of employment (At a school). Any thoughts or advice on how to do this (Or not) would be appreciated.

Dear Hand Delivering,
Sorry, it is not 'etiquettely' correct to hand deliver wedding invitations--not even to your parents. I realize this is costly, but it is just part of the wedding process.

Trust me when I say I understand the costly matter of this situation but it's not very classy to hand deliver your invitations. I know it sucks but I also live in a very small country enviroment and I still couldn't bring myself to hand deliver invitations. Sorry but you should really mail them regardless
