If you want to DIY your invoices, here's a method we used which worked well,
cost very little and gave professional looking results.

Buy an HP 4050TN* laser printer with an envelope tray.  I made a template
that prints the envelopes along with my logo next to our return address plus
the customer address.  These are printed from one tray.  The invoices are
printed (alternating with envelopes) on standard 20-lb stock from another
paper tray.  Each invoice winds up in the output tray on top of the
pre-addressed envelop.

Tick marks are printed just below one-third of the way down from the top of
the invoice to guide in folding the page.  You bring the bottom corners up
to the tick marks and crease the page.  Fold the top down over to the crease
and you have a perfect tri-fold that looks like it was printed and folded by
one of those Rube Goldbergesque machines from Pitney-Bowes.  I did this
years ago before I sold my alarm company.

*By now there's probably a newer model with cooler features but this is what
I used.
