Silver, Gold, Kraft and 100% Recycled White Envelope Labels 75¢-$1.50/sheet

Printing your return address on envelopes can be difficult to setup and feed, so we set out to find an easier and more elegant way of adding a return address. Using non-standard sized labels and adding vintage clip art gave us the look we wanted, and it also doubled as an envelope seal. Formal-Invitations.com offers unique 2.5″x1.5″ envelope labels in laser printer compatible silver and gold foil for $1.50 per sheet of 18, inkjet/laser compatible kraft brown ($1.25/18) and 100% recycled white (75¢/18) plus eight clip art books with cds  containing hundreds of elegant motifs to add to the envelope label, wedding invitations, favor, programs and throughout your wedding. The images shown in photo were from “1268 Old-Time Cuts and Ornaments” collection ($14 with book and scanned images on cd).

We highly recommend handwriting the addressee on the front of the envelope, instead of business-like (and cheap looking) standard or clear computer labels. Your wedding is a special event and personally taking the time to handwrite the addresses will convey this to your guests. Break up the task over a few days or enlist friends or family with nice handwriting to help out …it will be worth it! Also take a finished invitation sample to the post office to determine the correct postage and choose beautiful stamps.
