I am not sure if this will work but worth a shot. Use Microsoft Word like you would when printing a regular envelope. Higlight the text and then go to tools, Letters and Mailings, then envelopes and labels. Then click the options button on that screen. Click on The envelope size you are dealing with. You can change the fonts from this screen too. Then go to printing options. Click the face down option...and choose which method you want to use to insert the envelope in your printer. Press okay..which brings you back to the original screen and then press print. It should work. I would test run it with a regular paper first to ensure it is doing it right or with old envelopes.

Rereading this, it looks confusing...so if you need more clarification let me know.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

I officially got my invitations in last night. I was so excited especially since I wasn't expecting them for another week or so.

I still have tuxes and limos to do. Hopefully by next week....we have been dragging on this part for some reason.

How is everyone else doing?

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

We are doing great..

Invitations are stuffed, stamped & ready to go. Im so excited about that. I bought my shoes last week. I still need a veil & undergarments...

Im going for my hair/makeup trial in July. I want to see how everything holds up with the heat & humidity.. I already know who Im using & where Im going. Simplicity on my hair is the key!

Other then that.. I booked my church rehersal.. we just have to book the dinner. I'm in the process of doing my programs.. we found an apartment and now we are looking for a sofa.

Wheeeww.. it never ends.

On top of all of this... My brothers wedding is June 10, a close friend of mine is June 4 and my cousin is getting married June 17. 3 weddings in 3 weeks.. Crazy isn't it?

OMG - now i'm panicking. I have my invites but haven't stuffed or addressed them yet - am waiting for hotel cards and the reception hall enclosures which i'm picking up Friday nite. I have a wedding Sat. and communion party next weekend... no veil, shoes or headpiece yet. I'm also making my own favors and really feeling overwhelmed.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

I think this is one of those times, that we should stop and take a breath. I am sure we will all get everything that needs to be done before our special days.

Bklyngrl were you able to figure out the envelope situation?

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Hey girls! I'm going through the same panic attacks about invites - if I send them the first week of June is that too late? It still gives about a month to respond and most people are in the area.... what do you think?

Everything else is coming along quite well. We decided no limos, we ordered the cake, booked the officiant. Now I just gotta figure out how to pay for it all!

Anybody know of a bank it's fairly easy to get a personal loan at?

Thanks!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

I'm planning on sending them out first week of June (2 months before wedding date and 1 month before rsvp due date).

thank you nutella (did i spell right?) or am i thinking of the yummy chocolate. I practiced a bit with printing the return addresses on some paper etc. but i'm going to do the actual return address printing on Friday (when my boss is out) am annoyed my extra invitation envelopes were not included in my order but whatever!

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

Just want to say hi! I don't know if you saw on the other boards, but I had an invitation crisis. They were not printed correctly, so we are having them reprinted. We sent the envelopes to the calligrapher, so hopefully it all works out so that we can send them out by June 10th

My dress, tiara and veil are in!! I am going to see everything tonite for the first time and I have a fitting scheduled for June 3rd!! So excited

We also have a tux appt on June 3rd to finalize that. And our menu tasting on June 14th!!

Seems like there is alot going on, but all good things! I am getting excited!!

I know it is spelt wrong, but I am referring to the chocolate. I use to eat that in a sandwich all the time.

Good luck on the printing tomorrow.

Re: Official August 2006 Thread. Come on in.

andrew's mom is doing the caligraphy this week, so i will have mine shipped back to my mom in america and she will have them stamped to send out by June 1st...hopefully that is a good amount of time.

did my menu (just have to wait to get more paper to print them out)

working on my programs, did the outside cover just have no idea what to print on the inside

ordered my oot guest bags, my organza bags for slipper basket, and a whole bunch of other thiigs for the reception

booked the shuttle (that was a relief)

my main concern at this moment is the invitations i just hope if i send them out the first week of june that is enough time!!

we are almost there girlies

99 days and 3 hours for me
