letterpress question

My invite is a storybook type invite. It has a natural paper cover - almost a fabric. The inside page are ivory and the envelopes match. I am considering letterpress in gold or a grey/blue kind of color on the pages. Do I do the return address on the outer envelopes in that color? And do I do the calligraphy addresses (I am doing that on my computer) in that color as well? Or should that be in black?

Since you are using your PC to address the envelopes, I would leave it black.

thanks stef. i was hoping you'd reply! so what color would you do the return address? in the color that the invitation will print?

leave it all black for consistency plus Ive heard that color ink doesn't read as well by the post office machines as black.

Do you have a photo of your invites? I love letterpress.

The writing on my envelopes was burgundy, but I did the addresses and return address in black. I am using a burgundy heart shaped stamp as a seal over the back flap. (I wanted to do sealing wax on it, which looks so elegant - but couldn't find the color and got frustrated so just went with the ink)
