Question from an 07 bride

Where did you all get your envelops addressed. Did you do them by hand, on your computer, or did you have a calligrapher do them?

TIA!

mine were done by the company I got the invitations from (Not from a Box) it was computer calligraphy, and they came out great.

We did our own computer calligraphy and they came out beautifully! It's time-consuming, but like any DIY totally worth it.

I did this for my e-party invites and ink got all over the sides of the envelopes. Did this happen to you or do you have any suggestions on how to prevent it? Maybe I just need a better printer.

Diana from Pippy's Sweets did my invitations and she pre-printed the envelopes for me in a computer. They looked beautiful!

I printed mine out from my own computer. It took some trying to figure out the Mail Merge in MS Word but now I'm glad I know how to do it!!

Yup, thats what we did too...got the font from dafont.com...it was actually quite a headache for me in the beginning but once I got the hang of it it went rather smoothly...but most importantly they looked nice and were free

We used calligraphy on Microspft word and used our printer.

Re: Question from an 07 bride

I downloaded the font from www.dafont.com (thanks Christine ) and printed my envelopes out at work. My printer at home is worthless

Re: Question from an 07 bride

I bought a calligraphy pen and hand wrote them myself.

I used Inkspun as well. I had more than one mistake though. See my review for details.

I used a laser printer so the ink did not smear. I'm pretty sure you run into smearing problems if you use an inkjet printer.

DH and I have laser printers at work so we just went into the office over the weekend.
