I need help with my envelopes

So I was already to finish up my invites tonight and my envelopes don't seal shut! Anyone have any ideas, I've had it!

You can buy the little circle seals. Staples had them. They had plain silver, plain gold and then a few with decorations like double hearts. I think there are 50 per pack and were like 2.99 per package. Or you can use double sided tape under the flap.

I had the same problem and used a clear glue stick, it worked very well (a little messy)

Thanks for the glue stick suggestion, i wasn't sure if it would look ok, but if you did it I'm sure its fine! What does everyone think about those seals, is that ok you think??

You cant even see it.. just rub the glue stick on the sticky part that you are supposed to lick...actually Jes did this for me ... I even used a purple one that dried clear.

I used an envelope moistener that had an adhesive in it. That might work for your envelopes.

I love glue sticks!!! I used to have to do mass mailings for work and the glue stick saved my life.

Most of them do dry clear and just put it on the sticky part of the envelope like Jen2999 said.
