My wife has a big excel spreadsheet with all of our families names, addresses and phone numbers. She wants to send out invitations to our son’s 1st b-day party and she wants to automatically generate envelopes.

I played around with it for about 5 minutes and couldn’t figure it out (patience is not one of my virtues). Anyone know how to do this?
