Professional addressing or wedding invitation envelopes is a great way to save time and ensure the quality presentation of your wedding invitations and stationery. To have your wedding invitation envelopes professionally printed accurately you will need to download our easy to use spreadsheet. You will have a little extra time to compile your spreadsheet as this will not be required until the printing stage of your wedding invitations. While we create your wedding invitation proof you may work on your guest list spreadsheet.
If you really want to do the addressing by hand, then be sure to set aside enough time to address only a few wedding invitations at a time to ensure the quality of the writing. If you or someone in your family is good with calligraphy, this might be a time to enlist their assistance in addressing wedding invitations.
