    I don't want to use labels for the addresses on my invitations (or STD's or anything really besides the RSVP).  Besides hiring a caligrapher (or local art student), what other options are there?  You bees might be more creative than I am. 

    Has anyone had the addresses printed on the envelopes by your printer? I imagine that could be a nightmare with potential typos and not to mention expensive. (?)

    Would love to hear the other ideas/options out there that others have used.

    I did the faux-ligraphy.  That is when you print the addresses on the envelopes and then write over it with a pen so that it looks like you did calligraphy for a lot less money.

    Have you considered getting a cool handwriting font and printing them that way?

    I was also planning on faux calligraphy too!  I found this tutorial recently: http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/01/22/calligraphy-101/

    oh, wow.  That's the kind of ideas i was looking for! I was considering printing them at home but wasn't sure if it was possible (looks like it is).  Loving the faux calligraphy idea right now.
