Outside of invitation envelopes

I can't affiord a calligrapher and putting labels on the invitation envelopes I think is tacky.

Is my only other choice is putting them in my printer???

Any other suggestions on how to address about 220 invitation envelopes. Inner and Outer.

Re: Outside of invitation envelopes

Seems printing them is a good option...

I used Clear lables.. and they came out great.. not tacky at all.

Re: Outside of invitation envelopes

I did them on my home computer (pics in my album). It took me 2.5 hours to do 200 outer envelopes. We didn't have inner envelopes.

It's time consuming but once you've started the printing, it just flows along.

Printing them...is a breeze and they look better than caligraphy and so much better than labels. Go to dafont.com and download a font you like...I believe the one I picked was 'Chopin Script'. Do all of the Inner's first and then all of the Outer's or vice versa.

I highly recommend using inkspun.com. The outer envelopes are .39 and the inner are .29. Mine came out beautiful! You will save yourself alot of time and stress especially with that many invitation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gl

I sent mine out for computer calligraphy... it was only 0.19 per envelope (a LIW vendor). Totally worth it if you don't want to spend money for handwritten calligraphy. IMO, most people don't really take notice of it anyway.

I printed them on my home printer. Pictures in my album. Once you set up the dimensions and work out the kinks, it's pretty easy. I didn't do inner though because I had a pocketfold invitation.

I was going to say the same..

I printed mine myself and wasn't happy with them, but it was too late for me to have them done at that point..

Re: Outside of invitation envelopes

it is extremely easy to print them yourself, & it takes no time. just use blank paper to practice with the first few, & you'll be done with it in no time. It took me about an hour to do mine. i'd stay away from labels also.
