Envelope Question

I can't figure out how to do my envelope in my printer. The size isn't there... It's 5 3/4 by 5 3/4....

So...can i print the names of who's invited on a clear label and do it that way - or should I simply hand write it? (handwriting is OKAY, not great)..

what program are you using to print them? Can you put a custom size in?



I tried and it said it was too small and it auto adjusted...

ETA: Microsoft Word

Try to enter a custom size...or format it as close as possible to whats available. Cut out a few sheets of paper that are the same size as your envelope and run those through until you get it right, so you don't waste envelopes. Good Luck!

I have no other advice to offer other than hand-writing with a really good semi-calligraphy pen.

A friend of mine just did that, and the envelopes look amazing. If you have the patience, it might be worth it to try.





So the clear label thing isn't a good idea??

I'm going to try doing it with the sheet of paper - to see how it comes out...

Clear labels would be good too... I've heard about them smudging if you arn't really careful when they first come out.

I bet it would be easier than running envelopse through your printer! I know mine likes to eat them.



If you used the clear labels, make sure you let them dry for about an hour. We use them at work and it takes about that long for them to dry.
Good Luck!

Re: Envelope Question

When you adjust the size & it says it too small does it give you the option to not adjust the size? I know sometimes when I do things it says its outside the area but I say no to adjust the size and ti comes out fine. Maybe you can try that, I am thinking about doing the clear labels I think there fine!!
