i did mine with labels on the computer, came out good.
initially tried feeding the envelope thru by itself.. bad results , ink smearing.

i just did it in microsoft word. i measured the size of the envelope and then made a page size to match it. it will probably take a little figuring out but as long as you have some extra envelopes it isn't so bad. i got frustrated with it at first, but i was determined! your printer most likely has an envelope feed (for instance mine had to be fed from the right side). if you look around your printer there may be a little picture of an envelope. if not you could just try it all different ways. i used the scriptina font (if i remember correctly) for the script and just a random font for the addresses. HTH!!!

No. I actually just brought mine to be computer calligraphered the other day. I overspent on so many things so I decided against hand calligraphy and found a great company.

39 cents an envelope.

The guys name is bill and the company is inkspun.com. They also do other printing work for a great price.

After trying to do my sister's shower invites myself I realized this was so worth every penny and more.
