Did anyone try to do the calligraphy themselves?

My mom is pretty talented and offered to try to address the envelopes.

We are concerned about the envelope bleeding. Any recommendations...

If it turns out bad, I am going to try to print them myself...

If that doesn't work out - I'll pay someone to do it all for me.

My best friend who lives in Texas went to school for art and she took calligraphy so she offered to domine for me. I could never do it myself!
