More Stationary Issues

Although I have not technically chosen my invitations (the Chickadees are still in negotiations) a new problem has cropped up that I want to bounce off the Weddingbee hive.

We are currently house-hunting. We have not technically chosen the house either (hmmm, notice a trend here? Yes, we are indecisive) but we are getting close to a decision. So as it stands now, we are hoping to have a new address in the near-ish future. We're a little shaky on the timing as well, though.

All this boils down to the fact that I have absolutely no idea what return address/RSVP address I ought to get printed on our invites. I don't want to put our apartment address because we might not be living here when the invitations get sent out & returned to us. However, I'm not sure we'll have a new address by the time we have to order invitations either.

I know it used to be traditional to have RSVPs returned to the bride's parents, but it just doesn't seem practical, especially when my parents live in Dallas and I...don't. And I would sort of like to see them before the wedding and after next weekend I don't think they'll be up to Illinois again.

So the alternative is to have them all sent to Mr. Chickadee's parents' house. As it is, we have registered to have our gifts delivered there, as well as my passport, in case this moving thing causes a problem with those things as well. But basically I don't want people to think it's weird or that we have randomly, without telling anyone, moved an hour away.

So I imagine there has to be a billion other brides out there in this exact same predicament, right? How are yall dealing with this? Any suggestions (or anything to just calm my fears that this is not weird at all)?
