... and I'm teaching myself how to do it so I don't have to pay someone to do my invites.
Place your bets, ladies. I've $5 on the kit going out the window in 10 minutes.

U think it will last that long?
I would toss it after I messed up the 1st letter.

Good luck! I did my own too, and I think they turned out pretty nice in the end. A piece of advice - start out with the people who will be less likely to notice the calligraphy (i.e., I started with FH's drinking buddies), because the first few I did had each letter a different size, haha. Quite a few of the first ones were throwaways.

Re: I bought a calligraphy book
ok, so... that is all for one day. It's not as easy as I thought it was going to be, but if I practice enough, i think I can get good at it. Although, I better order my invites a little early so that I can get a head start... it took me 20 minutes to write the alphabet!

Re: I bought a calligraphy book
Where did you get the book. Maybe I should look into this.
Maybe I will make my sister learn how to do it -- she is on maternity leave. It will be a good project for her.

I got it at Barnes and Noble. It's a good kit
