girls who did your own calligraphy...or addressed your own envelopes

can you post pics? i think mine looks AWFUL...just wanted to compare. I just can't afford to spend another $200 addressing envelopes so i'm trying to address them myself

I did mine myself with a calligriphy font that I downloaded from www.dafont.com.

It was not hard at all. They came out looking classy, neat and it was FREE.

Sorry, I can't post the pic. The calligraphy I used was called ChopinScript.

I couldn't afford that either. So I went to Staple's and bought clear address labels. They gave you a program to download, which I did and you can also pick different font, color and italic. So I did a deep red and Italic and they came out nice. I mean lets be real people aren't going to keep the envelop, plus they just throw the invitation away anyways.

you should use a ruler or better use another piece of paper but something a bit thicker maybe a heavier cardstock or even a postcard or whatever is similar. Place it straight on the envelope and this way you can write straight. The writing is not straight and going upwards

I agree with using a ruler but other than not being straight I think it looks good!!!

Oh, really? I don't have Word on my computer at home...it came with WordPerfect. That's the font I used on my invitation. Hmm, maybe I'll look into that and see if I can try it myself. Thanks.

Why don't you try running them through your printer. I did mine that way and they came out really good.

I feel a little pressed for time now, and don't know if I should even attempt trying to do them myself. Thank you for the suggestion though!

handwriting looks good but i agree with using the ruler...

i'm all about handwriting....since i did it for my own invites...i like how it's not 'so perfect' but also whimsical at the same time..

it depends on the look you are going for!
