How are you addressing your invites?

Printing on clear labels or putting the envelopes through the printer?

I am thinking the clear labels.

I had mine printed by the invitation company to match the Font on Invites! They came out great!

chris605, they look great.

I like the hand calligraphy, but it's not in the budget.

I was thinking, I can pick the same font as the invites and use the clear labels. I think I need to do a test sheet.

I ran them throught the printer....and if I do say so myself I was pretty impressed
My envelopes have a shiny texture to them which really brought out the print. I used a calligraphy font to help them look 'professional'.

Re: How are you addressing your invites?

I did clear labels with a great font! My sister just got an invite yesterday with clear labels also. It was SO MUCH easier!!! I got no complaints that it was 'tacky' and b/c we had a borderline spring/winter wedding, I didn't want calligraphy to get smeared if it got wet.

It's also easier for the older folks who might have problems reading calligraphy!

Re: How are you addressing your invites?

cocoa, you hand wrote all of yours? wow! I am impressed.

You must have really neat handwriting. I am a computer geek, so I never really write, I type.

I just helped my cousin with hers. We ran them through the computer and they came out great! We used Edwardian Script, but Nuptial Script is also very nice. We didn't have a problem printing them at all.

Re: How are you addressing your invites?

I am going to put mine right through the printer. It takes a little longer that way b/c you can only do one at a time, but IMO they look nicer than the clear labels.

I am using English 111 Vivace BT, this is in Word Perfect, I don't know if Micrsoft word has it.

Re: How are you addressing your invites?

I printed my own last night. It took a little while but it was much easier than I anticipated!

I used Wordperfect font Dauphin. It's the same that I used on my invites.

Re: How are you addressing your invites?

I just did my engagement party invites with the clear labels and they loooked great (if I do say so myself)
I used Monotype Corsiva. I loved it, it was lots of fun!!!!!!!!

I think they look very nice!! Go for it!!!!
