how to print address on wedding inv. envelopes?

[Nina]

Hi,

I want to print return addresses on both the flaps of the outer
envelopes (A7) and the RSVP cards(A2)' envelopes. I have an old Canon
printer, and it seems like I would have to feed the envelope in the
printer one by one in order to get decent printing. So I was looking
for a place where I could get them commercially done. Someone
recommended Minuteman Press. However, they charge $50 for just doing
100 A7's. That seems too much. Does anyone know any places cheaper?

Or could anyone recommend a new inkjet printer that can do it well
(without me feeding one env. at a time)?

Thanks in advance.

I'm planning on sending handwritten envelopes. Since my handwriting is
admittedly atrocious, I plan on asking my bridesmaid and fiance and a few
relatives for help, and I plan on giving them a very nice dinner in
exchange.
Preferences aside -- I'd think the inkjet thing would be expensive
anyways; my cartridges run ~$30 apiece. And all the home printers I've seen
require one to handfeed one envelope at a time.
To be honest -- when I get an invitation addressed with a computer, I
wonder if my presence is truly that important to the host/hostess.
Oh,btw,more bad news -- the thank you notes after the wedding are generally
hand-written as well.

My Hewlett Packard DeskJet 950C allows me to put a stack of envelopes in the
paper tray - I don't have to hand feed one at a time. The manual states 15,
but I would think that could depend on the envelope thickness. Note that
the original poster said she wanted to print the "return address" on the
envelope flaps (unless I'm reading it wrong, I didn't see any reference to
addressing them by printer). I hope she wouldn't have to use a whole ink
cartridge for, I assume, a couple hundred envelopes that are only printing a
return address. Of course, if she decides on a new printer, there would be
that expense. As for recommending a printer, I feel mine works well on
envelopes but I've never tried printing on the flap so, unfortunately, I
can't give an opinion on that.

That price isn't really that high, when you figure in all the envelopes you
would waste because they have splotches of black ink on them or they misfed.
How many envelopes can you afford to ruin? These are probably heavier than
usual envelopes and may not be treated for inkjet.
Check around for prices and ask at bridal shops. They may be the best source of
information.

I have seen some stamps that print very nicely. Have you considered that?
You'd probably need a really good one, but might be a thought.
