How did you/will you address invites?

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

They will be calligraphed.

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

on the computer, most likely

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

If I could afford an extra in my budget I would do the calligrapher! But I enjoy (gasp!) handwriting things like this anyway...

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

I will use a specific pen that I haven't found yet... But I still have time. I usually look for a pen that is easy to hold, for me not too fat. And writes nicely with ease. Personally I don't like marker pens cause I can't write well with them. So I think what I am trying to say is go with what is comfortable and will look nice for you!

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

most likely computer because we dont have the extra $$ for a calligrapher.. and FH and i both have ugly handwriting.

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

Computer. FH doesnt think the calligraphy is worth the extra $$. I sort of agree with him, although I thought it would be nice.

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

luckily, a dear friend of my family does beautiful calligraphy, so i will be asking him to do it...

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

FMIL is going to teach me calligraphy and we are going to do them together.

maybe.

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

I just bought a book and kit on calligraphy and will try to teach myself so I can do the addressing. I am somewhat artistic, so I am hoping I can pick it up easily.

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

I think I will probably ask my Aunt to do it in leiu of a gift. Either that, or my mom and I will be doing it, since she's artistic and I try REALLY hard!

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

I think i'm going to try inkspun.com

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

FH's stepmother is an artist and she graciously offered to calligraph the invitations for us.

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

I would LOVE to have a calligrapher do them for us.. and I can afford it but its pretty much impossible since we did scroll invitations in a tube.

Soo I had to do them with labels on the computer .. its the only way

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

we're doing calligraphy, but ONLY because a family friend is talented and will do them for a huge discount, otherwise i'd be learning calligraphy myself!

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

How expensive is calligrahpy? Do they charge you per envelope. I would love to have calligraphy but it sounds expensive. I guess it is time consuming.

Re: How did you/will you address invites?

My Mom is handwritting mine.

I've seen on some other posts that it can be $2 and up.
