Handwriting is romantic, sure. But it’s also slow and unforgiving. Google Docs is free, collaborative if you need a second pair of eyes on the address, and endlessly redo-able. Messed up the ZIP code? Fix it in two seconds and print again.
Envelope Address Printing Templates
Plus, you can save a master document with all your common addresses. No more copying from your phone’s notes app. It’s your own personal, boring-but-functional address book. You’ll feel like a secretary from the 1950s, but with better Wi-Fi.
The Real MVP: Mail Merge (For the Overachievers)
If you are sending out fifty holiday cards, do not do this one by one. I beg you. Instead, use Google Sheets to list all your recipients. Then, in Docs, use Mail Merge (usually via an add-on called “Avery Label Merge” or similar).
It automates the whole process. You just load the paper tray with a stack of envelopes and watch the magic. It’s the difference between baking one perfect cookie and running a bakery. Both are satisfying, but one lets you keep your sanity.
