Hehe, also, June 8th is my birthday, and we're getting married right across the lake from Vermont (prob. with mostly Vermont vendors), so your invitation is very happy all around for me! I think that would be great if she could hand address the envelopes! I'm thinking we'll do it ourselves but we don't have very good handwriting, so consider yourself very fortunate there!

lovelylulu Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,000 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2005	thanks guys, i agree that hand addressed envelopes are much nicer, but like you albi, my handwriting is not that nice or even. i hardly ever write in script and i think now is not the time to start. I would love it if FMIL would do them, but we are in sort of a time crunch (LADIES GET YOUR INVITES WELL AHEAD OF TIME) so we'll see what happens

Can you invite her over for a nice fancy lunch, give her a hand massage (with lotion!), let her address for a while, give her another hand massage, make her some tea, repeat?

Regarding printing the addresses from the computer, we had the problem you had with the ink not sticking to the envelopes. I guess you have to make sure your paper is compatible with laser jet printers. Well obviously ours wasn't and I went into full panic mode of course! But then we went to an art supply store and bought this spray stuff that people use when they work with pastels, pencil, etc. It sets the ink into the paper. So we bought a can of that and sprayed all our envelopes (after printing them) and it worked! So if your FMIL can't do all the envelopes by hand, you still have this option. Just make sure you use the spray in a well ventilated room--it's like spray paint and the fumes are harsh!!

Hehe, also, June 8th is my birthday, June 8 is also my fiance's birthday AND my brother's birthday (they were born on the exact same day - my fiance is older by a few hours)! Very lovely invitations, by the way. _____________________________ "Hello Dollies" Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.
