So I am looking for a good template for the new postcards, so I don't have to write out each one individually....I have looked here on the files and I haven't found one in particular that works. Does anyone have one?
 
Do you mean for labels to print out the show & host info?? If so, I have one at home that I just type over for for each of my shows; and then just copy the info to all of the labels.
 
You are right - I don't have a template for the new postcards either! I was just sending out invites - if you use the Taste of the Tropics invites, the older version templates still work.....but the new generic invite is set up differently.....and I'm not good at that sort of thing!
 
I do what Jen does and just print the info on labels (Avery 5160) and put the label over the spot on the card.

I used to do that - but I just really like the way it looks to print right on the postcard.....plus, with the template I use (got it from here) You can print things in other places besides just the info lines.....and it looks so nice.

Oh! An actual template to print right on the postcard...gotcha. I would possibly be interested in that, if anyone has it! I think my printer can print directly on a postcard...
 
I about killed my printer when I tried to print directly on the invites. They got SOOO jammed.

When I get a new printer I'll try it again. :)

hmmm, now that I think about - that's when I started playing around with printing on the cards....my DH got me a great printer/copier/fax machine for Christmas last yr., and it can do so much more than my old printer!
