Are your printing your envelopes, hiring a calligrapher, or addressing them by hand?

Lynnie, on February 28, 2019 at 13:05 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 25

How are you addressing your invitation envelopes? Are you writing each one out by hand? Are you paying to have them printed? Or are you hiring a calligrapher?

    Avery sells different sizes of clean labels. You can use the free template online and it prints in both laser and also inkjet printers. https://www.avery.ca/products/labels/

    I also printed them on labeld and recieved a lot of crap for it. But I honestly don't care. My wedding is a casual garden party and I honestly feel, if you don't like it, stay home lol. Positive vibes at my wedding only!!

    I went to Staples to get the mailing address white retriangle labels. I only got 3o sheets that were needed and it less over the other counts per price.

    Not sure what kind of invitations we are sending yet and from where but I like hand written things so I would be fine writing them all out. (may need to practice some of my handwriting first though!)

    I’m hand writing each one. I originally wanted to hire a calligraphy, but I’d rather save the money lol.

    Address labels were used for easy access of getting the work done. Home printer did the job and no extra cost.

    Mailing label stickers were made, and my cousin wrote most of the names for us since majority of my side needed it to be written in Chinese. The ones for my fiancé’s family were hand written by me

    I’ll be handwriting them. I’ve been practicing some faux calligraphy lettering to make the inner envelope names extra pretty.

    I printed it all on labels. I think its a faux pas in the wedding community but I think they looked pretty nice.

    I did halve of them with sticker labels, but after I ran out (we did the save the dates with them too so I was basically using left overs of that) I found out you can actually print them directly on the envelopes :') so rest of the invites are all printed on

    For the save the dates, we did them by hand. We have an equal amount of guests on each side, so it was pretty easy to split the task between the two of us.

    For the invitations though, I will be ordering return address stickers. I might, just might, look into doing a mail merge for labels for every guests, but we'll see!

    We're gonna do clear labels for the envelopes. We're only having the outer envelope so most people will probably throw it away lol.

    I thought about getting the envelopes printed, but would also be another cost I didn't think of.

    I do hand-lettering as a stress-relieving hobby, so I will be taking care of the labels myself Smiley smile

    I’m doing clear labels to slap on the envelopes. Saves money and it’s easy!
