I downloaded the Chopin calligraphy font...and other than the fact that it was time-consuming it was easy to do!! I love the way the envelopes came out!!

Thank you...not a typo. My mom passed away, and my Dad is remarried...so that was the best way for me to word it. Believe me..even if there was a typo...those babies are going out!!

I just wanted them done b/c I have no 'weekend' time between now and the end of the month. I am planning to send them out 10/1. My response date is Nov. 1 b/c our hall needs a final count by 11/23...and I know I will need time to hunt down stragglers!! Plus we have some 'B list' people that I want to invite if we start to get some 'no's'
I don't think you are behind. I feel like my 'final count' date is a bit early..which threw me off a bit.
Regarding printing the envelopes I downloaded a font from dafont.com , then used Word. I did them one by one b/c I am a spaz when it comes to the computer....I formatted the page to be the same size as my envelopes, and then I typed each address individually. I am SURE there is a faster way to do it...but that is what worked for me. It was a little trial and error, but I ordered a lot of extra envelopes and once I got the hang of it it was fine!!

It was so annoying in the beginning!! I wasted a lot of envelopes, and sometimes the ink would smudge so I had to re-print. Now I know why people pay to have them done!
