MemberI need a classy and easy way to make or buy address labels for my invites.Any ideas? Once I pick out my invites I want to have the labels made way ahead of time but Im not sure how without them looking sloppy. Help!

MemberWhat about just printing directly on the envelopes? Avery sells clear labels (I either bought them at staples or maybe Walmart) and they were very easy to print. I used those for my STD’s. For the reply card I printed our address directly on the envelope just using Word.
MemberI used the clear Avery labels (I bought at Walmart) for our Save-The-Date Cards also but am planning to just print on the envelopes for the invites. Honestly though if you bought the larger labels, I bet it would look fine. You would have had to look really hard to see the STD addresses were on a seal and not printed on the envelope.
MemberI am planning on using the clear Avery labels with a classy black calligraphy style font for our reception invites. If the envelopes are white or Ivory, you shouldn’t even be able to notice the label much at all.
MemberIm afraid of wasting the envelopes and messing them up or not placing them in the printer the right way.. I just dont want to make more of a mess for myself..it seams like they shouldnt be too easy from the way your discribing them…

MemberCould you do a mock up with the envelopes and labels you plan to use to make sure you like the look of it? I know it’s hard for me to tell how things will look unless I can see it put together. I ordered sample envelopes and labels for free and went from there, that could be a possibility since you have a lot of time left. (also, good idea to do them early!)
MemberPersonally, I’m not a fan of clear. I think address labels look best when they actually coordinate with the paper. Even if they’re plain, think about doing a color.
MemberAhh…Maybe I’ll figureout a way to print directly on the envelopes… How would you go about doing that? Using word and using an envelope setting?
MemberI was originally planning on doing clear labels as well (didn’t want to mess with trying to print directly on the envelopes) but then I found out about wrap around labels. I think they look great and are different (never seen them before). I bought the full label sheets from onlinelabels.com, printed them, and cut them in the right size. Just google wrap around label templates and you should be able to find some for free. Or you can make your own by using Word.
MemberI tried to print envelopes, I laid them out in Illustrator b/c I wanted to have more control over sizing and fonts than I could do in word, but I could NOT get those bitches to print on any printer I tried. Its definitely a possibility, but be prepared to do a little trial and error first.
MemberThe problem I had with the clear labels is that well, they aren’t clear! They are opaque. So if you’re putting them on cream or light white colors than I would use the clear, but anything dark than that I would try the wrap around labels that babylou posted pictures of!
MemberI used Avery clear lables for my STD, reply cards and for the cream colored outer envelope. It looks fine. I didn’t want to make a mistake by printing directly on the outer envelope. If you decide to go with the clear labels, make sure you buy the ones that are used for ink jet printers. I made a mistake and bought the ones for laser printers and the ink smudged and I had to return them.
