DIY Invites

Anyone who has done their own invites, did you print them out yourself or go to a place to have them printed. If you did them yourself what program did you use and what kind of printer? I am so terrified when it is going to come time to make my invites to print them out!

My MOH suggested I go else where to print them. Is this even possible?

TIA

i printed them all on my computer...i have a regular hp printer and it worked out great

were their a lot that were messed up that you had to throw away? Did you do the envelopes as well?

I also printed them in my printer. I have an HP inkjet. If you're using metallic paper you may want to use a laserjet so the ink doesn't smudge. You can take it to staples, officemax or any store like that to have them printed and cut. I created my invites in Word.

FYI: If you use any fonts that were downloaded and are not standard in the program you are using, you may run into a problem if you take it somewhere to have it printed. I believe if you save it in pdf format you won't have a problem. I did our names in Renaisance (sp?) font which i downloaded. I saved it to my flashdrive and whenever i would try to open the file on another computer, the names wouldn't be in the font because that particular pc didn't have the renaissance font installed on it. I hope this is making some kind of sense
