I addressed all my envelopes (outer with addresses & inner with just the names) on my ink jet printer at home. It really didn't take as long as I thought it would. I typed all the addresses in to a word document with the specific font & size I wanted and then I practiced by cutting sheets of paper the size of my envelope to get the centering just right. You can use the envelope tool in word to customize the size of your envelope & also your centering. Hope this helps!

Invitations - putting deceased parent anyone ?
Hi,
Could I do this if both parents are deceased? Both my finace's parents are deceased and I'd like to do something in rememberence of them.
Why don't you just starve them? I think this whole conversation is petty! Are you going to tell your guests not to tip the Bartender too? Bartenders only makes drinks and work 5-6hr partys, NOT a full 8-12hr(or longer) day into the night party(s)! Think about it!

My mother is deceased and I racked my brain trying to think of somehting nice to do. I didn't want to make myself to emotional. I don't particularly like the name on the invite. But you could mention something during the cermony, or light a candle. You are most emotional during the ceremony, so this may be tuff.
I chose to mention my Mom in the favors. I donated money to the cervical cancer society and made up little cards mentioning what we did and why and photocopied a picture of Mom and tied them together. Everyone was very touched. My Dad cried, but I was prepared, I had made them so I was OK.
A picture table is a great idea. My thought is something subtle, but memorable. My husband said it's a day of joy, we don't want to make people feel sad, including ourselves.

I added this to the end of my ceremony program...this way everyone sees it, ackowledges it, but you aren't doing an action that will be emotional at the ceremony or reception.
Although death has separated us physically, faith and love have bound us eternally. Though we cannot see you, we know you are here. Though we cannot touch you, we feel the warmth of your smile, as we begin a new chapter in our lives.
