⚠️ first name 25 char
⚠️ last name 25 char
❗ email is limted to 50 char

My gut is we don't limit name on our application, but accept that it gets truncated by USPS. This shouldn't impact deliverability. Address, given we are standardizing to USPS, should be OK.
It's email that if it gets truncated, user wouldn't receive status updates.

Adding here that we will likely need to do some character replacement to allow conversion from UTF-8 -> ASCII. Here's Ryan's POC: "Ryán".encode("ASCII", fallback: ->(orig) { 'a' })
