Handwritten invites

Rachel, 20 January, 2023 at 10:04 Posted on Planning 0 19
Good morning 🤵🏻‍♂️👰🏻‍♀️


I’m not getting married until next year but a family picked me up some invites from Paperchase as they were a bargain! The only problem is my handwriting is awful and yes I don’t want fancy printed invites that go In the bin after the wedding but I would still like them to look lovely.Is there such a thing where you pay some one to write on them? Like calligraphy style. Thanks x

    I've definitely heard of this being a thing (I didn't realise until I started planning a wedding that there are so many people who can do calligraphy) but I can't actually recommend a specific person though. Hopefully someone else will be able to give a recommendation!

    If you have a printer, you can put the invites you have in the printer and just change the paper size in printer settings. Then you can type on word what you want and choose a nice font to print on.

    Could you get a family member/fh or friend to write them out for you?

    Ask a friend with lovely writing and you could have a nice night together whilst you do this. Calligraphy is a talent and also not cheap so you would spend a little bit more probably than if you would’ve got them personalized yourself. Or if you’ve still got another year watch lots of videos and try it yourself. Good luck. x

    Thank you. I probably have another 6/8 months before I need to send them so I may take look at videos and see if I could learn. 😬 I will certainly give it a go. Thank you! X

    Do any of your friends or family have good handwriting that could do it? It’ll be done for free that way

    I don't know your situation, but I've just brought myself a Cricut Joy which will write for you (with the pen adaptor) - I haven't yet used that option, but have used the vinyl settings & made the following from it.

    I'm happy to try to assist if that's the route you want to go down x
