anyway, we wanted our invitations to exude a slight air of conservative and timeless class, without being too uptight and boring. read: a fine mix to create modern elegance...
i am oh-so-very-lucky that my future mother-in-law has fabulous handwriting, and that she offered to hand write each and every invite in beautiful calligraphy. obviously we were going to let it be a surprise, but i'm just so excited about them that i had to hint a little ;)
looking through so many calligraphy websites, it is astounding what some charge per line for invitations. i guess everything is relative with budgets, but if you have a friend or a relative with great handwriting, this is definitely a super wedding DIY that adds tons of flair to the occasion and just that special touch to make your guests feel special.
just make sure whomever is writing has practiced a lot AND has great pens! good luck! :)
