@Jon Klaus 

@Kirk R. 

We buy ours half a million at a time, so we get them a bit cheaper. We sell them separately for .06 each.

@Jon Klaus Invitation envelopes are most commonly associated with good news or with people we know and have a more personal feel. Ex] wedding invitations, birthday cards, thank you cards ect... typically only coming from people you personally know. If you're going with a typed letter i would recommend a #10 as you would want more of a professional touch. Realistically though, a handwritten envelope will get opened no matter what envelope it's in. From there it is the message inside that will determine your response.

No return sounds like your best option.

That letter will get you the highest response rate (as long as you include your phone number). I would go with a cream/beige invitation envelope, stamp choice isn't too important however. Only thing I would not recommend is using your home address as the return. Some people are weird and will show up at your house. Office address work great or even a PO Box would be better than your home. Good Luck!
