Wedding Wednesday :: Fake Calligraphy

Let's be honest, my handwriting is decent, but not wedding stationary worthy. Oh, & a professional calligrapher just isn't in our budget. I saw an idea to print out addresses & then trace over them on Pinterest & figured it'd be worth a try. After hand tracing 50+ save the date envelopes, I may have developed carpal tunnel, but our save the dates look fantastic & professional. 

I photoshopped out some of the addresses for privacy reasons, but you can get a pretty good idea of the finished product. Now, I have to do the same for the invitations. Thank goodness I don't mind doing tedious stuff like this. 

Linking up here today.

  11. Found you via Pinterest and really loving these! I was going to hand write my invitations but this takes some of the stress out. Any hints on printing on envelopes? Did you do return addresses too? Suffering from invitation stress! :)
