Re: DIY Envelope Question

I love the mixed text concept, I'm using it all over my invites!

How about like this?

I'm sure you tried it this way... I don't know if there is a better way.

Side question, but, what printer are you using that prints so nicely on envelopes adn doesnt crumble them up?

That picture is not mine...that picture is from cjb88, whose wedding was gorgeous!!!! I am however, using my mother's printer which is a brother printer (she does business work out of her house, so it's a home business laser printer). I have seen people say they used a regular ink jet printer, so try your printer and see what happens.

This printer I am using gives them a little curl, but by the time I do the front with the guests address and the back with the return address they come back out flat.

Re: DIY Envelope Question

We just sent out my daughter's invites yesterday. We have 3 printers at home one of which is a laser. None of them would print the envelopes (which are lined and 6 x 6) without getting jammed. We went to Office Max and bought a Brother Laser Jet printer for about $120 and it worked great! Someone on LIW suggested that if there is a back door on the printer, open it up so they come right out the back and don't get curled as much. Hope this helped.

There is a back door, and now the pictuer I was looking at the other day makes sense. Thanks!!!
