Has anyone used the Avery Clear Labels for their invitations? I am seriously thinking about using them b/c I found a font in Word 2000 that almost exactly matches my invitation font.
The only difference would be the color b/c we don't have a color printer and the invitation is worded in burgundy. I don't think I really care though. It is easier for the postman to read in black.
Any thoughts?
Fortunately for us, my parents have a color printer, so we were able to do the envelopes in a matching color to the burgundy print on the invitations. But I don`t think it would be bad to use black ink.
I`m sure the clear labels would work fine, but have you considered printing straight onto the envelopes? It worked out great for us, and was pretty simple .. at least if you have a top feed printer. I`m not sure how easy it is if you have a tray feed from the bottom.
Basically with a top feed, just measure the width of your envelopes. Ours were 8.25 inches for the outer, and 8 inches for the inner. Create documents that are those widths in Microsoft Word. For the outer envelopes, we set the top margin to 2.9 inches and on the inner, the top margin we used was 2.6 inches. The side margins were set at 0, and the text was centered. The best thing is to cut a piece of paper the size of both your inner and outer envelopes and use that for a test run before sending any envelopes through. Good Luck!
That's exactly what I did. Bought the clear labels and they are great. I figuire, I would rather make a mistake on the label rather the entire envelope. The black will be just fine. I used a green with the shadow accent with the font I chose and it looks great. I'm also printing up my invites and I had someone look at one of them and they couldn't tell the difference between a professional print shop and me and my computer. :)
