Those handwriting invitation names...

It wouldn't bother me if it was scrawled on a napkin as long as I could read where and when to turn up!

I am attempting to do my own invites and will probably type them.

I'd of loved to have made them myself so I could of typed names!

Life saver!

When we get to that stage, I'm pretty sure I'll write them myself (or OH might, depends, lol).

Yes one of her friends has 'posh' writing that will look smart, but people might wonder who'd written the invitations if it's not your handwriting! Makes it more personal too, I think. Like you are the one doing the inviting, which you are ?

Not sure that ramble made much sense, but I know what I'm trying to say...!

The invites are actually from my parents! Gone down the traditional route (didn't really even discuss any other options).

But I don't think our invites or wedding suit the whole 'posh' writing.

Simple is fine!

D'oh - sorry! If you're swaying towards 'simple', I'd go with that. Whichever you think will suit the whole thing better ? and it would potentially be a bit of a palaver getting somebody else to do it for you.

LOL! Depends what the meaning of 'posh' writing is? If she just has nice normal writing then it seems like a palarva, i'd write it in my own hand or type it. I did actually go to calligraphy classes so I could learnt to write fancy for the invites, and table place cards. that was my choice and my mum made the invites so it was a total DIY job! Although worried about how i would do, I actually enjoyed writing them in the end. The feedback has been positive too, which has boosted my confidence in my writing as calligraphy writers are renowned to be their own worst critic!!!!

Go with what you think,

PS posh is calligraphy, haha, I just couldn't remember what it was called! x

LOL! Calligraphy means 'fancy writing' I never knew that until i went to lessons!! Duh!

heres a sneaky flash

Oh yours is lovely. My Mums friends version of it, I didn't think was very clear!

Thanks Hun, I chose a simple writing as it is easier, readable and effective!! I also didn't make any mistakes I was quite chuffed!! Mum printed my inserts out and i wrote them before we stuck them in........ just incase!!!! LOL!

Well my handwriting is rubbish due to being a lefty, so my mum is going to do it for me! She has really nice handwriting, and I've bought a black ink cartridge pen for her to use. It'll just be a nice night in for the two of us too.

I did simple writing, fancy writing takes tooooo long!

I dont have handwritten invites but my mum is writing the addresses and names on the envelopes as my writing in illegible at the best of times. Hers looks way nicer than mine so she has drawn the short straw.

Thanks all.

Off to buy a nice pen and will be hand-writing them myself!
