Mini freak-out advice needed please

So I had placed the order for my invitations a few weeks back and they finally arrived! I could've sworn I ordered BOTH inner and outer envelopes and when they arrived there was only one set. That's not this issue because I know I can always get more. My issue is this ~ I want to mail them within the next month and I planned on sending the envelopes to the place to have the addresses and such printed on them. Obviously there will be a wait time to have them printed, then mailed back to me, THEN stuffed and finally mailed. Sooo what I'm wondering is this ~ do I chance it to order the extra inner envelopes, get them to the printer, wait to have them printed, then be delayed in stuffing and shipping them OR do I just forget about the inner envelope and have only the outer one addressed? I really wanted both, but I'm afraid of the time constraint. What would you do?

I didnt want an inner envelope but it came with it for free. As far as printing I actually printed the addresses on the envelopes from my home computer. You can always order the extra ones and print them out from home. It took us a few hours and we were done.

What if you just don't address the inner envelope? My friend did that, she only addressed the ones that had kids so they were certain the kids were invited. Timing-wise you should be OK. They say to send 6-8 weeks before the date so even if you sent them out in a month you are still good on time.

Depending the size of the envelope you may be able to order them from Amazon for fairly cheap and sometimes they offer expedited shipping for free (amazon prime).

Thanks! I am actually using wedding ink and yes, the owner had her baby yesterday, but since I had contacted her a few weeks ago in anticipation of my envelopes arriving she took me on as a client and said she would get my envelopes back to me by a date we discussed. She's so nice! I also am just going to forget the inner envelopes ~ while I really did want them, I figure no one will say, 'I'm not going to her wedding because she didn't have an extra envelope' LOL
