The text will be printed or copied onto 8.5"x11" overlay paper, the standard sized sheets are provided for ease of printing (small pre-cut overlays would be very difficult to setup and feed correctly). Each sheet will provide four 4.25"x5.5" overlays. We recommend ordering a sample to test and purchasing water resistant ink jet ink or using a laser printer or copier, for better durability.

Cut Overlay with Paper Cutter... After you have finished printing, you will need a paper trimmer or paper cutter to cut the overlay in half vertically and horizontally. If you are using a cutter, cut the paper 5.5" from the edge of the longer side, then again at 4.25" from the edge (longer side up). |

Assembling and Addressing Wedding InvitationsWe recommend handwriting the addresses on envelopes for a personal touch, instead of computer labels or printing. Two envelopes are not longer necessary, but if they are being used, the smaller inner envelope is addressed with only the guest(s) name, such as “Mr. and Mrs. Grant Thompson” “Miss Johnson and Guest”. The outer envelope is addressed with the guest’s full name and address. Avoid using abbreviations for streets and cities. The return address should be on the back flap of the outer envelope. When assembling your invitations, the reply card with stamped envelope or reply postcard should be on top, then the reception card, then the invitation. If two envelopes are used, all of the enclosures are placed in the inner envelope face up. The inner envelope is placed (unsealed) in the outer envelope, with the flap facing back so that your guest sees his or her name upon opening. Use an envelope seal for an elegant touch. |

Mailing your Wedding InvitationsBefore stamping, bring a sample of the completed invitations to the post office to determine the correct postage. Invitations should be mailed four weeks before your wedding or six weeks for out-of-town guests or if your wedding falls near a holiday. |
