print envelopes with multiple fonts

I'm trying to print custom size envelopes for an invitation with multiple fonts (names in one font, addresses in another font). Is there a way to do this on OS X Yosemite or can I only print with one font? I have tried by printing directly from Contacts and I have also tried using Pages templates. Can I create a Pages envelope template with different fonts and import a list from my Contacts? (I have many envelopes to print as this is for an invitation.) Thank you.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Pages '09 has Mail/Data merge built into it. All releases of Pages v5 do not.

There is a third-party solution that uses AppleScript, and placeholder text in your template to insert data items from a contact group into a Pages v5 document. Replace the letter template with your envelope template. This product expects a recent release of Pages v5.

It is beyond the scope of this community to provide support for this third-party solution.

Contacts lets you format the labels. Just play with it.
