How is everyone putting addresses on envelopes for save the dates and invitations?  Are you hiring a calligrapher, handwriting yourself or having labels printed at kinkos or something similar?Thanks :)

    I hand-addressed our save the dates, but for the wedding invitations I got a calligrapher. We are super happy with how the envelopes came out, so if you are interested in a calligrapher, her contact info is on her blog:http://calligraphybymichele.blogspot.com/

    I did hand calligraphy for the STDs. For the invitations, I used www.inkspun.com. His prices are very reasonable and he is fast.

    I did clear labels for everything, just your basic Avery labels.  My handwriting is horrible and we just didn't have $$ in the budget for a calligrapher.

    I'm running the invitation envelopes through a printer at work.  My handwriting is horrible and its just not in the budget to hire someone.

    Our Save the Dates were oost cards, so we addressed them. As for the invitations, my MIL has beautiful handwriting so she did them. They weren't fancy or anything.

    I know you're not supposed to use them, but I used clear labels. Honestly, I don't think anyone minded.

    We did clear labels for the save the dates and had them printed directly on the envelopes for the invites.

    Save the Dates:  i used Avery White Labels...i didn't really think it had to be that formal.Invitations:  Printed outer and inner on computer at work.  They turned out GREAT!!!!  I just set the page size to my envelope size (since it was a traditional size) and mail merged my list.  Everyone loved them!!!!

    Clear labels for STD's, and my Mom hand addressed all the invites.  I was going to do it, but my Mom's hand writing is way nicer than mine!

    I didn't want to pay a calligrapher and my mom was totally against labels so she volunteered to hand write all the lables for the wedding invites since she has beautiful script handwriting.
