I dont know if Lisa from Elite Affairs does this or not but you can alwasy email her (she is a vendor on here). She does a lot of stuff (menu , cry pack, program, aisle & table runner and etc.) Sorry not much help.

Deep breath - this stuff happens and there's no use killing yourself over it! Check out inkspun.com. You send your envelopes to Bill and he does the computer calligraphy and sends them back. Do you have the addresses typed out anywhere? He just needs a word document with the list of addresses (instructions are on the website). You could have them within a week. You have over nine months until your wedding... there's time for STD's. Just relax... you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself.
GL.

ETA: You could always neatly hand write them. I've received numerous STD's where the addresses were hand written and I didn't think twice about it.

If you have the list saved anywhere on your computer, excel, word, whatever, all you have to do is create a mail merge and print the labels, it literally took me 5 minutes to turn my excel sheet into a mail merge in word and print the labels for my STD's. If you don't have it saved on a computer then I'm absolutely no help whatsoever, sorry!

Try the mail merge if you have your addresses in excel. It take a few minutes. I did that for my STD's

nope it isnt there! =[ and the mail merge i have tried tons of times and i just dont seem to get it right.. but that isnt even the issue, the whole thing is i dont even have all the address's saved on my computer. i guess i am kind of old fashioned when it comes to this, lmao! and i like writing it down handwritten and having it in paper so it can be easier access for me and be able to carry it around with me and easily update it and add to the list just right there in the spot. where with the compueter you cant and sometimes you forget to go and put in the addresses and update the list, especially me since i am a very forgetful person (haha). so with me the writing it in paper and having my entire guest list and addresses in paper works so much better for me! so i did a template on the computer, actually downloaded one and printed it out in a few pages and hand wrote my entire guest list as well as their addresses.. so now i dont know what to do cause i really dont feel like sitting here typing addresses 1 by 1 again onto the label tamplate for the save the date envelopes.. ughh, this is driving me crazy and i am trying to see what else i can do to try to save myself from not having to do that! ive been searching on the internet for places that do this but havent really found anything! :( especially that i dont even have it in a file on my computer (the list) i think its going to be difficult to even prolly do this! :(

Stop wasting time searching for someone to do it and just start typing :) You'll be done with it before you know it

I'll do it for you if you want! Just FM me if you don't figure something out tomorrow. I can print directly onto the envelopes for you. HTH a fellow bride!
