Addressing your invites?

centladyliz · January 2012

Hi everyone! Sorry if this has already been asked but how did you address your invites? Did you use a calligrapher? Or DIY calligraphy? Labels or handwritten? I need to start addressing mine this week so I can get them in the mail in the next few weeks but don't know which way to go.

( I have no experience doing calligraphy, but I do have pretty neat handwriting.)

Thanks!

I printed mine on clear labels and they turned out great.

I printed mine directly from the computer onto the envelope. They turned out really pretty. I just downloaded a free calligraphy style font and printed away.

I got this really cute font and printed them right onto the envelope. They look great. I just didn't have time to write out 200+ invites

I tried to just put the envelopes through my printer but they were to thick so I had a calligrapher address them for me

We printed directly onto the envelopes. I thought they looked really nice

We used clear lables for ours.

I haven't done mine yet but I plan to use clear labels. If I had nice penmanship I would just write it but mine's awful.

I wrote the addresses myself

At that point I just wanted to get them OUT!

We hired a company to do our invites for us and they printed addresses directly onto the icing that wrapped around the envelopes (our envelopes were black).

I wrote them all in myself- It was a good idea at first, but not only was it tiring, but unless you have extra envelopes, you can find yourself in a pickle.

For instance (and for those of you who remember), one of my married BMs was going to go through with a divorce, then she changed her mind, so I ended up using 3 envelopes on her

I hand wrote them. I have bomb-ass handwriting... to the point I might just open an etsy shop. LOL

totally this for me as well. My handwriting is horrible.

I used clear labels as well.

KH 2012 · January 2012

i wound up hand writting them because i was havig major fights with my printer and it wasnt worth it!!!!! but def do the direct feed of the envelopes if you can...thats what i was going to do

arrestclementine · January 2012

My handwriting is beyond horrible... I got circular grey labels to match the polka dots that were on the invitations. Then printed on those in a cool handwriting font. They looked fantastic! Felt super lazy though seeing as I only had 15 to send out - but they looked so much better than if I would have wrote them out.
