Should I Use Clear or White Labels on My Invitations?

[babywings76]

I'm about to make my first batch of invitations that I will be mailing on behalf of my host. I'm planning on using the white postcard invites from PC. I was thinking of putting info on labels and putting those on the invites. Problem is, I accidently bought clear labels. Do you think it'll work, or should I hold off and get the white labels instead. Also, what info do you put on your invitations? At the bottom of the postcard, it says you can view the catalog on-line, should I put my website address below that? Or will that look junky?

Hi Amanda,

I am originally from Easton Pa. Where are you? I use the following template. You may have to adjust the alignment. It has been so long since I bought invitation, I am not sure what the current invitations look like.

Good luck.

Wendy I have never seen this template and I love it. I have already changed it up some for my own use. Thank you!

THis one will work for the most recent summer invites. I haven't updated for the fall ones.

Thanks for the help! Quick question...do I just put the postcard invitations in my printer and print directly on them using that template? (Sorry, I can't think straight right now, I'm a bit frazzled with a million problems today....)

Here is the one I use, it has so much additional info on it- This one is for the current invitations.

Oh yea.....
Amanda,

I figured it out. I had to adjust the spacing just a bit and practiced printing it out and it looks great. Thanks so much!

You should be able to print directly to the postcard. Just don't do like I did I printed it the first time on the wrong side. HTH

I seem to be having trouble with printing more than just one in a print job. I have to put one card in, press print, wait, then put another card in, press print,wait, etc.... Very time consuming. But when I put even just 5 in a stack and ask it to print 5 copies, the alignment goes haywire. I have had to throw away a lot of invitations that got all messed up. Next time, I'm definitely using labels.

It depends on your printer. If you have a cheapy printer, it may not hold the weight of the postcard which makes your alignment go haywire. I do print mine through my printer and love that rather than labels. I did have to upgrade my printer though.

It's a brand new Canon printer we got when we bought our new iMac 2 weeks ago. It frustrates me to no end that it's messing these up! I wonder if my old printer would work better?

Oh, sorry, I forgot to answer your question...I'm in Lancaster County.

For the regular white postcard invites I use labels avery 5160 and then just type it up like it states on the postacrd and that has worked well for me. I pring up the return address lables with my wesbite info and how to enter the host info and I put it on top of the 'www.pamperedchef.com'
