    So we spent much of last night stuffing wedding invations.  When we finished at 12:30, I wasn't up to sealing them.  That is tonight's project.

    Any smart tips on the best way to seal envelopes without licking them or getting them wet or damaged?

    We used an angle-tip moistener that we got at Office Depot for $0.99!  You fill it with water and the sponge moistens the envelop glue.  You have to be a little careful to not get too much water, but for $1, you can't beat it!

    You can find it here.

    I used a damp wash cloth, and ONLY ran it over the envelope glue.

    I used the little triangle foam foundation sponges that I use with my make up! We just dabbed in a bowl of water and spread. I got frustrated with the tube with water in it, it kept squirting too much. My FI and I found this so easy and mess free!

    I second (third?) glue sticks. I used the ones I bought in a 3 pack from the dollar store around christmas for our STDs and they worked GREAT!

    Oooh! Good idea on the triangle makeup sponge! That seems like it would really work.

    I also vote for glue sticks...no mess, quick and easy to use.
