Anyone using clear labels and a computer printer for invitations?
Calligraphy is too much, and paying for Lion in the Sun to do computer is expensive too, so we are going to do this on our own - anyone else do this?
what did you do? What did you use? How did you do it?
Ladies - HELP!!!

I'm ideologically opposed to labels!
If going this route, I would much rather print directly on the envelope.
Also, try inkspun.com, they have good prices.
Don't do labels!!

We are going to print directly onto the envelope. I practiced with my Save the Dates and it came out pretty well (once I got the hang of it).
You can go into Word and choose mail merge and then pick envelopes and they let you input the addresses and preview your envelopes.

I agree - I wouldn't do labels.
My FIL did our envelopes on his computer and they came out beautiful.

FOr my friends wedding 2 years ago we printed the address directly on the envelope using a calligraphy font with mail merge in word They came out great.
I don't like the labels for formal invitations it doesn't seem right.
Good Luck

I am too scared to put my envelop thru a printer.. jam or so forth. I am using clear labels. My sister went this route and her invites looked pretty. I may even use silver to match my silver seals. My colors are blue and silver.
I used gold for my sisters Baby shower and hte invited looked fancy, I got a lot of compliments on them.

I am doing left adjusted labels, inspired by these:
ETA: with embossed return address on the flap, because I love talking about my embosser!

Re: Anyone using clear labels and a computer printer for invitations?
We tried to print directly on the envelopes, but it got to complicated and the printer ate two envelopes on me so we opted for the labels.
I bought clear labels and did them with dark blue ink (same color as invites) and I think they came out just fine.
You just have to play around a bit on word to make sure all is lined up correctly. It took me a few hourse, but in the end they were perfect.
At first I was so against labels, but after my breakdown from trying to print right on the envelopes I thought, the person(s) will look at the writing for 2 seconds, see its for them, open the invite and toss the envelope. So in my opinion, its not worth going crazy over. Just do the labels.

I just got an invite in the mail for my childhood guy friend's wedding with clear labels. Did not make a difference to me! Still was a great invite. Do what you want. You can't please 'em all!

I don't think it makes a difference. I've received them both ways and both are fine.

Re: Anyone using clear labels and a computer printer for invitations?
I did clear labels and they also came out great. My suggestion is to be very large labels, so that you can have a large, nice font on the front.
Screw the people who tell you it wasn't proper. I didn't have the time or energy to run 100 invites individually in my printer so they wouldn't get screwed up.

I used Navy Blue and it came out just fine. It looked really nice on the envelope. I used a Calligraphy font from word.

Re: Anyone using clear labels and a computer printer for invitations?
I am getting ready to address my STDs and plan to print directly on the envelopes...I too do not like teh look of labels - but I think it is totally one of those things that matters to soem people and not to others - so it is entirely up to you which way you prefer to do it...But, I am getting nervous now that everyoen is talking about these horror stories of printing on teh envelopes....How do I make sure I get it to work right???

Re: Anyone using clear labels and a computer printer for invitations?
I used clear labels only b/c I embossed the envelopes (with our monogram in the back) and I was afraid of screwing up!
My SIL did hers directly on the envelope..and she had to order another 25 more b/c of the mess ups!
