Wedding related - would you be upset if someone bought you...
Your first address labels with your new name? Is that something that you would want to do yourself?
Edited to add:
I'm surprised I'm still getting responses to this so I'll update! 
It was for a gift swap at work, she's not married yet, she is changing her name, the gift is not singular, it goes along with a cute stationary set so it makes sense with the companion gift, and I already bought it all!
Thanks for your help! I think she'll like it and even if she was upset about it, she'd never tell me so it's all good.

I wouldn't be upset - I think that's actually a really thoughtful gift!
You don't need to use them if you don't want to.. you can always say you had already ordered different ones.

Re: Wedding related - would you be upset if someone bought you...
I don't get upset at gifts if I can help it. 
Its free and its a thoughtful gift.....whats there to be upset over? Nope--I'd be fine.
If they didn't include stamps--now that would be cause to end a friendship.

Something like that wouldn't upset at all.
If the couple was really particular or had something in mind they could always get their own and use the gift ones later or for bills.

No. Something like that wouldn't bug me. Heck, you can always buy them for yourself too.

And to the OP: No, I don't think I would care. It's kind of sweet actually.

You know how sometimes people can be weird about things, wanting it to be a special thing they do themselves. I remember how happy I was the first time I got them with my married name.

That is a cute idea.
Save some money make a donation to the March of Dimes in their name they will receive address labels 3 times a month for the rest of their life.

It's for a work gift swap. It goes along with a stationary set that I found with some literary characters she loves, I thought it would go nicely together. And a bookmark, magnets. That kind of thing.
I'm going to clean Etsy out today, I swear.

I can see what ya mean -- but I hope that your friend can appreciate it -- I think its cute.
My sister got me note pads in a few different sizes with my married name on it -- and I loved it, it was cute and thoughtful and saved me the time and money of doing it!

Thank you! She loves Alice in Wonderland, loves to read. Believe it or not, I can get one set of address labels the Mad Hatter, a vintage style stationary set with 10 different designs, an Alice bookmark, and Alice magnet for about $20.

I think that is actually a very unique and thoughtful gift! I would have loved it if someone got that for me! (heck, I would love it if someone would get them for me now, 3 years after we are married! )

Re: Wedding related - would you be upset if someone bought you...
I think it is a really nice gift and very thoughtful.
The only way I'd do it though is if I knew that the bride was definitely changing her name...
My BIL took my SIL's name...not everyone knew that, so if someone got them these with his name....
