    Hi, just wondering if anyone else is making the effort to make the guests' names beautiful on the invitations?

    It is taking a long time because I'm also doing it on the addresses. It is a little easier because I am using an italic felt tip pen so I haven't got ink all over my fingers!!

    My uncle said that my Grandad would have been proud, because it was something he did too, calligraphy. Though he would have used a ruler and pencil to make sure everything was straight on the addresses and then rubbed the pencil lines out afterwards.

    Is it worth it?

    Im not doing calligraphy but I have quite nice writing anyway (even though all our invite stuff is typed :/) So if there is anything that needs to be hand written I will be doing it :-)

    I'm lucky cause my Mum is quite arty and is good at it. She will be writing the names on my invites and doing the place cards for me.
