How do you print addresses on wedding invitations?

The simplest way is to print addresses onto your envelopes at home. Most home printers can handle standard envelopes if you use the manual feed slot and adjust the paper settings. Choose a font that is easy to read, such as a classic serif or a clean sans serif, and keep the size around 10 to 12 points. Set the return address on the flap and the guest address on the front, and run a test on a spare envelope to check alignment.

If you prefer a more professional finish, your stationer or a local print shop can print addresses for you. This is often worth it if you have many invitations or want a matching script style. Another option is to use clear address labels, but these can look less elegant. For a handcrafted feel, you could ask a calligrapher, but that is usually more expensive and takes longer.

Whichever method you choose, make sure the ink is fully dry before stacking envelopes. Use a ruler to check the address sits centrally and straight. If you are printing on textured or recycled envelopes, test first, as some printers struggle with thicker paper.
