My invitations are complete! designed, printed, cut, mouthed, assembled, addressed, sealed, and stamped! This has been a DIY project that took a lot of time and patience. One of my groomsmen designed the invitations for me, then I had them printed and cut professionally. However, I mounted the monograms, bellybands, and invites, as well as addressing the inner envelopes, outer envelopes, and RSVP cards.
Each invite cost me less than $4.00

Re: a big check for me!
Thank you! I browsed through a bunch of fonts online. (I googled 'free fonts.') When FH and I chose that one, we practiced and practiced printing the envelopes until we got the address exactly where we wanted it. We ordered a LOT of extra envelopes - almost double. The thickness of a nice envelope like this didn't go through my cheap printer so well, and we occasionally had misfeeds. I fed each envelope in one by one. It took a few hours, but saved me a lot of money.
One more thing - I found that 'fast draft,' worked better than 'best,' because the 'best,' setting tending to smudge on the nice paper.
If you want the microsoft word document I used with the margins for my A7 envelope, FM me your e-mail address and I'll send it your way!
