Nice envelopes!

Printing from home on envelopes in a new and interesting way to personalize greeting cards, invitations, thank you notes, etc. For years, people have been creating letterheads and borders to make all print outs individualized and uniquely different. Now, most current printers have special slots for envelopes so users can print straight to them. Not only does this open up realms of creativity, but it also will save people money. Most printers come with software so envelope printing should be a breeze, but there are tutorials, like this one on youtube.com.

Another cool feature on some printers and computers, depending on the operating system that is being used, is loading addresses onto envelopes directly from your digital address book. If you don’t have one, you should because it is an easy way of keeping track of all names, addresses, phone numbers and perhaps significant events involving all of the people who matter in your life.



Let’s say you are planning a wedding, and you have to pay for it yourself. It is not going to be a big ceremony or reception, but any way you can cut a few corners and save some money will be beneficial and ultimately help pay for your honeymoon. You have chosen a date and it is time to make invitations. You have a template that a friend sent you online, so making the actual invitations should be relatively simple. You purchased some blank cards and have printed all of the invitations that you will need, personalized with each potential guests name. You need have blank envelopes and your plan was to write addresses by hand, but you recently learned that you can print on them with your inkjet. Using your address book saved on Word, you copy each address straight to the envelope and before you know it, you are only in need of stamps!
