Girls who did their own envelopes...

what size font did you use? Thanks!

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

It depends on what font you use. Most fonts are different sizes from each other.

I believe I used 18 or 20.

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

I'm using Edwardian Script. I have printed out a sample in size 30. Not sure if it's too big. I look at samples done by companies and they are huge.
Stacey04-What font did you use?

Thanks!

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

I think we ended up with 18 or 20 for the address and a somewhat smaller size for our return address.

(our return address was printed by the invitation company in a different and smaller font)

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

I did Edwardian in size 36 and it came out perfect size on a big square i think it was 7x7 envelope.

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

Thanks ladies! Out of everyone's responses... I used size 26 on a 7.5' x 7.5' envelope.

I'm glad I did it myself..all done in one night and saved some money too!!

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

No longer doing them on our own since the company will address them for about 50 cents each but this is a link to some fonts I tried out.

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

We used Pristina in I believe 18 or 20 also. It's an elegant font but not all swirly and fancy.

And I printed my names on clear labels - they looked just fine for us

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

i just attempted my 1st printing on the envelope. I used size 26 Edwardian Script. It came out great!! It's definitely not calligraphy but still has an elegant look.

very easy to do and definitely good for those on a budget

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

How do you print on the envelopes without it getting stuck in the printer????

Re: Girls who did their own envelopes...

I used Edwardian Script size 30 and I LOVE them. I think they look professionally done.
I used Taupe ink to match my cream and taupe invites.

I feel good that I saved 200 dollars not hiring a calligrapher.
