We should be sending out our invites tomorrow, but instead I am going to need to find a calligraphist because we can't print out or envelopes because they get messed up in the printer. I tryed calling Kinkos and they said they don't print envelopes and the machine we can use will damage them If anyone knows anyone who can help because my invites have to go out this weekend. I am ready to pull my hair out of my head right now.
Thanks girls, I took the envelopes to work today and I got them to printout at work with no problem. Thanks for all the advice, I was going to really lose my mind. Thanks
LOVE U RYAN

I had that problem - but, though hesitant at first, I went with clear labels and they looked fantastic! There are a lot of really nice fonts you can download, and I got it to match style font of my invitations.
Just an option - a lot cheaper then calligraphy, and I did them all in one night.

did you try staples... maybe they can print them ~ I had a problem with my STD's and it was a weird shape paper and they totally took care of it for me... worth a try! Sorry sweetie! good luck!

We bought Clear Lables and printed the labels out and then applied to the envelope. It's cheaper than having someone do them and its faster. Good Luck!!

I recommend inkspun.com, but you have to format your invite list... if you could get it all done today and overnight them today, you might be able to get them back by Saturday, but definitely Monday. They have a really fast turn around time! Good luck!

Re: I want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!
Michelle at EZ Calligraphy is FANTASTIC! (She's a LIW vendor) I just used her to do my friend's baby shower invitations (& envelopes) & they came out great. She wasn't expensive & she is VERY quick...I've only heard great things about her from other people too, so I'd highly recommend her. I think this will take you to some reviews about her if that helps Reviews
Good luck!!!!

At this point I would fine someone with very nice handwritting to get them out.

Re: I want to scream!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE
Don't do labels unless it's a last resort.
I would just hand write them. That's what you're supposed to do according to etiquette anyway!
You can also have invite printing places (like Invitations and Beyond in Oceanside) do computer calligraphy for you. I had hand calligraphy done, but they do computer printing and I'm sure they can do it.
Don't worry, you have time. I am getting married the week before you, have tons of OOT guests, and just sent mine today. You'll be fine!
