Don't get me wrong, I am am all about beautiful calligraphy. It is oh so pretty paired with letterpress invites but at almost $2 an envelope, this here bride does not have that in the budget. Thats when I decided to get crafty and I found a font that happens to be free and is amazingly similar to those whimsical calligraphy styles I yearn for. Download it here.
Here is a sample of the font.
If you are really feeling crafty, you can print it out very lightly on your envelopes then trace over it with a nice pen for that handwritten look.

I was thinking about the cost of invitations the other night and it suddenly gave me the desire to take a pair of scissors and chop my guest list in half. Awesome find to make it look like the money, I would totally trace it with a marker, put on an audio book and I'd be good to go for 4.5 hrs.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, hope you don't mind me linking yours on my newbie! Thanks for the gorgeous pictures and artsy ideas!
Such a great alternative--it'll look beautiful! I think I'll try hand-lettering mine, but I might just give up and try a calligraphy font instead!
