Calligraphy

Same here girl! i taught myself lettering / modern calligraphy by watching instagram and youtube videos! a personal touch on your invites is awesome. check out one of mine below (this was done in pencil and i later went over it in pen and did faux-calligraphy to make it look better)

View Quoted Comment That's awesome! They look really good! I have to love the internet for this 😂

That is so good, Fenja! Well done

Will you write all the invitations addresses?

View Quoted Comment Yes, that's the plan! Although it will take me quite a while so I really have to start on time I guess.

It’s so funny my mom JUST mentioned this to me last night before I saw this ! I had not seen this ever before on WW until today 😂 but great job ladies !!!! I’m not that neat handwriting wise so I think my mom is getting someone to do mine

I want to hand address my invites too, I think they look really personal! I have nice handwriting when I focus, my aunt told me once I write in textbook cursive lol. My main problem is usually writing in a straight line, so I’ll definitely need a guide. Luckily I only have like 30 to do, so if I break them up over a few days I think it’ll be fine.

I used brush pens, and did calligraphy for the names and neat printing for the addresses. I also have a hard time with centering things and writing in straight lines, so I made a template out of cardboard that I could place on the envelopes to draw faint lines for spacing, and then used a good quality eraser to erase them all afterwards. It ended up actually being a lot of fun - I definitely say go for it!

That's pretty awesome!!!

Wow! It looks really good! I'm hand writing ours too.. and making my fiance help me. We are just going for readable, nothing fancy like this lol

View Quoted Comment Thank you!!

View Quoted Comment Yeah it is nice to give it a personal touch by handwriting! We are also going to write the names like this... the rest will be normal.

Kudos to you girl. Looks great. Me, wasn't even gonna try it. I printed out labels lol
