i'm making invitations. basically i'm developing them on standard sized photo-paper (i think 4x6?) at walmart. i need envelopes that fit them exactly, but i cant seem to find any. anyone know where i can find envelopes of that size, or where i can order them online?

also, is anyone part of a forum or know of any sites/blogs that discuss crafts and homemade/custom stuff? not your cheesy grandma-inspired crafts, but cool DIY designs? basically the howardforums of crafts/design?

thanks.

I don't think you will find one exactly that size. Envelopes come in standard size. The closest you will get in small quantity is A6 or 6 Bar- 6.5x4.75. (The dif is the flap- sq or tri) Really, you need slightly larger anyway, so, it's not so bad. When I used to work at a printing company, we had tons of half boxes of envelopes laying around. When a customer ordered 250- we bought 500, because you need setup to get the press running. So, we would save the other for setup on future jobs. You might stop by a few local printers to see if they have some you could pick through and buy pretty cheap.

Crafts- not my thing, but I have gone to AC Moore for such sources in the past.

EDIT: well would ya look at that excal!- they now make a photo size! Good job! Well, my knowledge is useless now.
