For those of you that print labels with all the info for the host's party, which labels do you use? Do you use the address label size or do you use something bigger? I haven't tried it yet, but it seems that the address labels would be small to read, but it seems that a bigger label may not fit well on the PC postcards. Thanks!
 
I use one from The Booster that comes with "Bring a friend and get a gift" pre-printed. Then I add the host info. They're 30 to a page, so they're the standard address label size.The labels themselves are these: http://www.thebooster.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=3321

Am I reading that right, is there only 30 labels for $1.99? I could do something like that on Print Shop and it seems like it'd be cheaper. (You're a Mac user- do you have Print Shop? It is great!!)
 
Here is the one I use. It prints on the 30 labels/page labels.

No, I don't have Print Shop, and I don't have a color printer, either. I only buy these labels when they're on sale, and they're cheaper in multiples.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best types of labels to use for invitations?

The best types of labels for invitations are typically those that are high-quality and compatible with your printer. Look for labels made from durable materials that can withstand handling and mailing. Matte or glossy finishes can enhance the appearance, depending on your design. Popular choices include Avery labels or custom labels from online printing services.

How do I choose the right size label for my invitations?

Choosing the right size label depends on the size of your invitation and the amount of information you want to include. Standard sizes like 2" x 4" or 3" x 5" work well for most invitations. Measure your invitation and consider how much text you need to fit on the label to ensure it looks balanced and professional.

Can I print labels at home for my invitations?

Yes, you can print labels at home for your invitations. Make sure your printer is compatible with the label sheets you choose. Use design software or templates to create your label layout, and conduct a test print on plain paper to ensure alignment before printing on the actual labels.

What design elements should I consider for my invitation labels?

When designing your invitation labels, consider elements such as font style, color scheme, and imagery that match the theme of your event. Ensure that the text is legible and contrasts well with the background. Adding decorative elements like borders or icons can also enhance the overall look of your labels.

Are there any tips for applying labels to invitations?

To apply labels to invitations effectively, ensure the surface is clean and dry. Align the label carefully before pressing down to avoid bubbles or misalignment. Use a bone folder or a similar tool to smooth out any air pockets. If you're applying labels to a large number of invitations, consider using a label applicator for efficiency.
