Did our own addressing! Edit: Pics are resized, still big :)

I was TOTALLY stressed about finding a calligrapher and having the envelopes done in time...we have only just under a month to get them out on March 15th.

Well, I woke up yesterday morning and FH had spent the morning designing our inner and outer envelopes. It was so amazing...we never even discussed doing out own. We have over half done already!!!

What a guy!

Heres pictures of what the outer looks like and both the different inners we are sending.

ETA: These should be smaller

Very nice, I love the motifs, and what Font did you guys use? We're thinking of doing our own too. I don't care if people talk about me

We did them on Microsoft Publisher and once you have the format down, it's not that hard. We luck out because we have a laser printer due to him owning an office supply business, but we are doing them at home. They also came out nice on the regular ink jet printer.

The font we bought off line & it is called 'HELINDA ROOK' and the little design underneath we downloaded from Microsoft Clip Art 'decorative elements'

They have a really great selection.

I think everyone would be able to do this if we can...we REALLY aren't that computer savvy.

Thanks for the compliments!

That's gorgeous! I'm doing ym own invites, addressing, etc, too! That looks really nice. I feel even more confident about doing them myself now! I just have a problem getting my printer to line up sometimes! I think I'm gonna buy a new (better ) printer for the invites!

I love them! Very nice job.

We are in the process of printing ours now, and the inkjet printer su**s! I'm getting black ink on some of the inner envelopes!

But I am just living with it!
