Envelope Studio
Print envelopes and prepare address exports
Envelope Studio is for mail-merged envelopes and address-review workflows. It should help planners identify missing addresses, print clean envelopes, and export CSV files for Word/Office mail merge or a print shop.
Envelope printing
Mail merge
Missing addresses
Core workflow
- Open Envelope Studio after Manage Guests has clean household and mailing data.
- Choose envelope size/layout.
- Enter or confirm return address.
- Review guests missing mailing addresses.
- Choose whether to exclude missing-address guests or print placeholder/name-only envelopes.
- Generate print-ready envelope PDF or export CSV for Word/Office/mail-merge use.
Address review rules
| Record type | Action |
| Complete address | Eligible for envelope print and CSV export. |
| Missing street/city/state/ZIP | Flag for cleanup before printing. |
| No mailing needed | Exclude if the couple will not mail that guest. |
| Name-only placeholder | Useful when hand-addressing or collecting addresses later. |
Printing guidance
- Use a test sheet/envelope before printing a full batch.
- Confirm printer margins and selected envelope size.
- Keep the BigDayHQ logo small and crisp if used.
- Export CSV when a print shop, Canva/Snapfish-style workflow, or Office mail merge is the better path.
Common mistakes
| Issue | Fix |
| Guest missing from envelope list | Check mailing address and exclude filters. |
| Address wraps badly | Shorten optional lines or pick a larger envelope/layout. |
| Wrong return address | Update the Envelope Studio return address before export. |
| Duplicate household envelopes | Check household grouping in Manage Guests. |
