Hello all!
Looking for some ideas and advice here on how to address our invitations as we won't have a calligrapher.
I really wanted one, but it's just something we weren't able to workout in our budget as we are paying for everything ourselves, which is no big deal, just made for more cuts to make a reasonable budget.
I hand addressed all of our save the dates using stencils and calligraphy pens and wasn't overly pleased with the outcome and felt like ripping my hair out as we needed to mail/handout about 125 and it took me about two weeks to finish them.
Did anyone else not use a calligrapher? What did you do to address your invites and make them look nice and clean? I'm open to any options/ideas as I seriously don't want to hand address them this go around.
Thank you in advance for all your words and ideas!
Re: Addressing Without a Calligrapher
One method that will at least help things to look neat is to stick an index card inside of your envelope. Unless the envelope is a really dark color, the index card lines will show through and you can use them to make sure all the address lines are straight and regular.
I guess I missed the last part that you don't want to hand address. Just run everything through a printer. Take your time setting up the margins and do a couple test prints to make sure it's printing on the envelope where you want and you'll be fine.
Of course, if one's handwriting is so bad as to risk the envelopes getting lost in the mail, that's one thing. But that should be a relatively rare case.
Thanks to all you lovely ladies for the different ideas!
