GLUE STICK!!!!!

Simple as pie!

They even have those ones that go on purple and dry clear so you make sure to get enough on it without discoloring anything.

I think any drug store has them -- I think it's elmer's that makes the purple to clear ones. I got my glue sticks at barnes & noble because that's the closest place I was near when I decided it was time to get them.

I used a wet sponge. The 'sharp' corner was great.

Just a warning about the glue stick: We used a glue stick and some people said that the invites were impossible to open and that they had to literally rip the envelopes to pieces to open them. I was kinda sad because we spent all that money on calligraphy and then people had to rip the envelopes apart to get to the invite

Same here! Just don't wet the paper towel too much or you could end up with wet marks on the envelope.

We bought an envelope moistener with adhesive. It's called Dab 'n Seal. You can get it at Staples or any office supply store. It's similar to a glue stick, but it's just a moistener with a little glue in it, so it doesn't seal the envelopes like glue would. it's only a few $$s and seals up to 1,500 envelopes. it was fun to use!
