Does anyone have a format for printing on the PC postcard invites? I am not very computer smart so have no idea where to begin. I want to be able to fill in the blanks with host information instead of using labels on top of print. I am thinking of doing the tri-fold fliers but still have tons of postcards to get rid of first. Please help!
 
These are various templates I have for the various invites - I may have more - I'll do some digging.

Here are some more - you have to play around and see which one fits the particular postcard invite you are using and then pray your printer will line up properly.

This one always works pretty well for me. You'll have to print one and adjust things for yours with this one as well.

Same question. My printer won't feed the postcard if put in horizontal.
 
Picture side up and have the bottom of the PC on the right for most printers. You will need to print one and look at it then make adjustments (more/less spaces or change the font size.)

ETA make sure you take all the regular paper out of your printer. put the pc's in and slide the paper guide over. I helps keep things lined up.

ok...figured how to print them...problem is I can't get the formats to line up with the postcards I have. I have the ones that are generic...3 ladies on front...from 2007. The address side is fine but the host info won't print on the lines. It is either too high or too low and not at all on any of the lines. I checked the spacing and even changed the font. What else am I supposed to do to get them to line up? Thanks!
 
Ok yeah i finally figured it out, i guess i will just space lines different to accomadate my printer, but all in all, it looks good, saves money, and time!! Thanks for posting! and thanks for starting thread! I needed those!
