We used...

our laserjet to do the envelopes and we originally wanted something that looked like calligraphy, but we weren't happy with them (most were hard to read, like the Old English type of print). We found a font on some font-software called Judith and it was awesome. It was a cross between script and calligraphy and we got many compliments.

Try this site...

http://fair.dzones.net/index.html They have lots of fonts to pick from for free downloading. If you do find one you like, make sure to test all the letters (upper and lower), numbers and symbols (especially & and dashes) to make sure they will all look good to you .. you wouldn`t want to encounter problems with the font once you`ve already started printing your envelopes.

Created a simple file in MS Word

If you need help setting up a file for your envelopes, let me know .. I did both the inner and outer envelopes for my invitations, and also did the thank you envelopes using the same font.

Hi Kel, I am in the process of sending out my Save-The-Date cards, I was wondering if you could tell me exactly how you set up the page for addressing your envelopes. Thank You!
