I used my printer for inner/outer envelopes. They turned out nice.

I also did mines on the computer in the same font as the invites - they came out really nice nobody's gonna know I did it myself! Except you guys of course!

FH did ours on our computer and used the same font as the invites. They looked great. I know technically they are supposed to be handwritten but it just wasn't feasible for us.

I had a woman at work do hand calligraphy for me. For $100 extra I thought it was worth it and a nice touch.

I like the idea of it going through the computer - I don't understand the point of a dollar an envelope - save save save!

I used Bill at INKSPUN (Vendor on the site).
I emailed names and addresses, fedexed the envelopes to him, picked the font and color I wanted. He emailed the proofs to me (always check!) and within a week, he shipped it back complete! It came out VERY NICE for 65 cents each invitiation and saves us hours of experimenting and printing on the computer.

I'm not at the invitation-stage yet, but I plan on addressing with handwritten calligraphy. I like the personal touch...the extra $ is worth it to me for that reason.

We did them on the computer using the same font as our invitations. They came out great!

Is there an etiquette rule about envelopes being hand written?

Re: how is/did everyone address their invitations?

Yes, there is an etiquette rule...you should always hand write. Hand written is preferable even if not done in calligraphy over anything computerized. It gives a more personal effect since this is a wedding.

I know alot of the computer programs look like its hand-calligraphy but for me the extra $100 in the scheme of things was well worth it.

I'm sure none of your guests will be personally offended if you send them an invitation with computer callighraphy.
