Wedding Hacks – Calligraphy
via Weddings and Cookies
This is such a great cheat for getting beautiful hand-lettered (sort of) calligraphy without having to hire someone to do it. Basically it involves printing directly onto the envelopes/whatever so it’s just visible, then tracing over it with an appropriate coloured pen. I can imagine it being a little time consuming, especially if you have as many people to invite as I likely will, but for that light-lettering-on-coloured-paper look I might consider it…
That said, I don’t get the snobbishness about *gasp* sending envelopes with the addresses just printed on them or on labels in a nice font. Is it really any less personal than paying a calligrapher a few bucks per envelope to write out?
OMG I am so in love with the light lettering on that paper! Like, seriously in love.
I read about that cheat, too. I think I’ll do it. If only so I have something to do while the Groomie is out running marathons.
It’s beautiful isn’t it! I would hesitate to rip it open.
