for those who are addressing the invitations themselves----

if you are handwriting them- do you know calligraphy or are you going to just do them neatly in your 'regular' handwriting?

I used my pc to do them.. I used sloop script for the names and copperplate gothic for the addresses...

On average, how much money does it save you to do this yourself? If any?

I did it in my own handwriting, just a little curvier (if thats a word?) I also bought a pen from michaels that matched my girls gowns (driftwood- copper) and used that to address them...they came out great and was really fast too.

I did in my own handwriting...I think it adds an added touch that you really want the people at your wedding...

I did it in a sort of calligraphy...I knew a little and then just practiced...If you get the right pen its not too hard

I took a calligaraphy class a few years ago, I don't remember much of it . . . .but I found a chart in Martha Stewart Weddings that I think is really easy to follow and it looks really nice.

I am doing my own and just using my regular handwriting, which actually follows the calligraphy style anyway. I just finished addressing my announcements to the extended family, and I just used regular black ink, and I'm just going to get an ultra-fine, smooth writing black pen for the invites.

My MOH attempted to do calligraphy for me(with pen & ink) & I didn't like the way it was looking(the ink was very messy), so (14 envelopes later ) my mom took over. She has lovely handwritting & she used a silver(matchs my invites) calligraphy pen we got at Michaels.
