Those not using a calligrapher...

How are you addressing your invitations?

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

I printed them directly on to the envelopes. Really took no time at all! I downloaded a font called Chopin Script and I love the way it looks!!

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

I'm using my computer. Just using the same font I'm using on the invites.

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

The person I bought the invitations from is printing them on her computer.

I picked a pretty font, grey ink, and did them on a color printer. They came out beautiful!

thats what I'm gonna do too...But I have another ques..did you have your return address pre-printed on the back?

Edited to say: I didn't have mine b/c I didn't want the return address printing raised and the front address not be..does that make sense?

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

We are printing right on the envelopes. I cringe wvery time an envelope goes in the printer. But so far we've only messed one up. They look really pretty. I also downloaded the font from the internet, I think it's called Easy Street

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

Oh I did have the return address pre-printed. It does make sense that you would want the 2 to look the same. I didn't think about that. But then I don't know how you would get the return address on the back

How do I know what the name of my font is? The invitation place goes by number...do I just search and compare?

I did mine directly on the computer... Only lost 2 envelopes our of 140 because they jammed. The invitation company usually sends extra envelopes. I used the nicest font that I could find, didnt try to match it with the font on the invitations.
If I were you I would just go threw and compare, you may not find the exact match, but you'll def find something close to it
Good luck

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

this is what we did for our save-the-dates (bad pic, but you get the idea)... i'll do something similar for our invite envelopes as well...

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

I addressed mine by hand in my fanciest penmanship. I was surprised when people asked me who did them.

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

I am having my mother do them --she has great handwriting and feminine...unless I find the font to download...

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

i'm doing it on the computer- my handwriting stinks and i could do without the extra cost of a calligrapher

dino1109 Posted: Apr 20, 2004 02:06 PM

Re: Those not using a calligrapher...

Yes, I printed the return address on the back of the envelopes.

I made my own invites so I knew the font name. I guess if you dont know- ask or compare until you find one that matches.
