My Invitations have arrived!!

WHAT DO I DO NOW!!! Sorry for yelling im just soo excited. It feel like this whole wedding thing is finally coming together.Ok so I do not have the best hand writing so I can't write the addresses myself. I think I want to try running the envelopes through the printer but im soo scared I might mess up because I do not know the first thing to do. Help ladies pleeease.

Do you have a bm or good friend that writes pretty? Maybe you could get them to do it. I'm sure you know someone with a beautiful handwriting. Good luck and congrats on receiving your invites.

Jlanetteb, guess what I do not know not one person with really good hand writing.. Girl trust me if I did they would be put to work. LOL

PEBBLES... How did you do that, did you do it for each individual address if so how? I do not need my address printed because it was already printed on each envelope by the company I ordered from.

mine too came with my address printed already go into microsoft word then click letters and faxes click on the mailing label wizard and you have to enter the names of all who you intend to send invites to print the labels and put them on the invitations

Re: My Invitations have arrived!!

I must agree with Pebbles and Housewife Get you a pack of clear mailings labels for about $20. I bought one for $20 and it had 750 labels.

Re: My Invitations have arrived!!

I agree with the other ladies Sensationablyhappy. I also used clear labels to print the addresses on my invitations because my handwriting is not so great either! I just bought a pack of 300 at Wal-Mart for like $7 or 8 I think. On the labels package there is a website where you can go to download a template that can be used in Word. It is really easy to use.

Re: My Invitations have arrived!!

Ladies while playing around with word a little I figured out how to print the address directly on the envelope... It came out really pretty. I used a script font and pool blue ink to match my invitations and my bridal party colors. What do you think.

Re: My Invitations have arrived!!

sensationablyhappy that is exactly what I did with my envelopes-I printed the address from the template in word and they came out nice; just make sure you have some extra envelopes and it is a little time consuming-but mine turned out great also!

Sensationaby happy ~ I knew you would figure something out. Just remember that you have 2 days left to mail out your invites in order to stay on schedule, but you're doing just fine sister!!!

Re: My Invitations have arrived!!

Wow Sensationablyhappy, you save yourself some cash. That's great!!

KeithsBride,
I am not sure but I guess it depends on when and where your wedding is. I say that because if you have out of town guest you may want to give them the 8 weeks so they can make hotel reservations. Or if you are doing a summer wedding you want to make sure you catch people before they plan their vacations. But I am not sure on the etiquette on the right time.

Re: My Invitations have arrived!!

Keithsbride, it's only 6 to 8 weeks, if all your guests are local, if you're having out of town guests, all of your invitations for your out of town guests must be mailed out 2 1/2 months to 3 months prior to the event.

Happy planning!!!
