You are all excited and you want to get an idea of how to make your wedding invitations. More importantly addressing wedding invitation envelopes. You would love to have them done by a calligrapher but it is so expensive.
What are your options. If you have beautiful penmanship than hand addressing them would be great. Use a high quality pen and test the ink to make sure that it will look good when it is dry. You don't want a pen that will offset, or have an imprint on something else. Fast drying is a must here!
If hand addressing them scares you, and you are thinking about labels, OOPS! I don't like labels on an invitation. The subconscious mind has already determined that a label with their address delivered to them is junk mail! Some say that a clear label is fine, I prefer not.
So what is the other option. You can't afford a calligrapher, your handwriting is terrible, and you don't want to use labels. What about addressing them on your computer to match the invitations. Use the same font and colors that you have in your invitations. Addressing wedding invitation envelopes can be fun.
If you made your own wedding invites you can easily match your cards to the envelopes. If you had your announcements done from another company than use some scrap and try to match what you chose from them. Fonts are different, but if you come close that will be fine. If you don't have anything close use a font similar to calligraphy. If you can't match the same color use a black ink.
Another point that you can remember is that if you use an epson ink jet printer that uses water proof ink, you won't have to worry about your invite getting wet. This can make them streak and that isn't a good look. If you are using another printer and it doesn't use a water proof ink, spray them with a mist of hair spray this will coat the ink with a protection. Some printers will be fine even if they don't have the waterproof ink. Some streak more than others.
In many cases addressing your envelopes to match the wedding card, will make an expensive looking invitation package the whole way around. If you didn't get your RSVP envelope addressed you can also print that on your computer printer too.
Again I have been doing this for years. It really isn't difficult and I get compliments all the time. When someone new gets into the line of receiving these invitations they tell me how nice they look. I love that! It also makes them feel important to see their name in a beautiful script on your wedding announcement.
So if you are thinking about addressing wedding invitation envelopes, look no farther than your computer. It can do the job much cheaper than the $1.50 an envelope calligrapher. Why not give it a try?
