I love the personal feel of handwritten wording featured in many invitations and save the dates lately. It’s personal, warm and creative. I adore how simple these pieces are, as you can really appreciate the way each letter looks, rather than being distracted by other embellishments. If you wanted to jazz it up a bit, you could always add a colorful envelope, mat, or enclosure card (with more handwriting goodness)!
I haven’t completed a project like this for any of my clients, but even so, my handwriting wouldn’t be worthy of this. I would probably have my grandmother do the honors, she has magnificent handwriting, and it would mean so much more to me!
You could easily turn this in to a DIY project by writing out one invitation on a white sheet of paper, then scan it, and adjust the contrast, then print! If you’re familiar with Photoshop, you could even change the color.

You're right.
There is nothing more beautiful postcards, or letters received from handwriting. This creates the illusion of a close friendship and sympathy.
Your work is impressive.
Sorry for my English:)
Rishelie,
Thanks for the comment! I just wanted to clarify that the handwriting samples above are not my personal samples, but lovely examples from various artists in the wedding industry.
Thanks for stopping by!
I wish my own handwriting was gorgeous - are there classes you can take?!
