I need your thoughts...

Im doing vellum votive candles and I have 2 things to consider.

One- I want to print my vellum on my school computer bc I have WAY MORE choices for fonts. However, school is ending next week and i wont have all my table numbers done by then so I cant fill that part in. I would have to wait and write it in w/ a thin point sharpie

OR

Two- wait to do all the table numbers and print the vellum on my home computer but have the 'yuckier' font. I have like no choices for script fonts or anything 'fancy'

THOUGHTS?

I would do it at work !!!! Do you have an idea of how many tables you will have based on the RSVP you have received already??? If so, I would just print a bunch out & if you have extra, it is just done! Otherwise, using the sharpy marker is not a bad thing!

Re: I need your thoughts...

Could you set up the file at school with the nice fonts and send the file to your home computer? I know when I receive documents from outside my company, word retains their fonts as a list of possible options.

ETA: Forget it, that doesn't work. You can download the microsoft fonts but, they cost about $20 per font so www.dafont.com is definitely a better choice.

Can't you pop into the school sometime during the summer to do it? I know we have summer school and there are always inservice classes and people around.

Re: I need your thoughts...

same here!!

We were actually able to download the font on our invitations and return address to print out all of the envelopes.....I'm a nut about getting everything to match.....I will actually probably do anything I need to do from here out in that font
