Handwritten invitations- I love them but I have heard people complain about them before. I have a niece who hand wrote all her invitations, They went something like this:
Dear Auntie SweetZ
Well, John and I have decided to get married. The ceremony will be at x church at x time on x date. After the ceremony we're having a reception at x location. I hope you can come, we are looking forward to celebrating with you and uncle Bob. Of coure we hope you can bring Sally, Suzy and baby Tommy too! Call me at xxxxxx or you can email me at xxxxx and let me know if you can come. I sure hope you can. I miss you so much.
Love your niece,
Bridie
These were all hand written on very nice stationairy. I thought they were absolutely charming and I can only imagine the amount of work that went into them. I was so saddened to overhear some of my other nieces saying that they couldn't believe that Bridie "didn't even bother to get real invitations made"
So what do you guys think? Hand written invites Yes or no?
I think it is a lovely idea. What a wonderful way to be invited to a wedding, by a personalized hand written invitation. If you have the time, I think this is much nicer than traditional invitations.
That's a really nice and very personal way of inviting family and friends to the wedding.
However, if you have more than 50 guests to invite, wouldn't it take too much time and effort to write them all?
I think handwritten invites are okay as long as your handwritting is okay and readable. Nowadays a lot of peoples penmanship has a lot to be desired. Taking a caligraphy course may be helpful.
For those with beautiful penmanship, consider buying some beautiful paper and handwriting personal invitations with a pretty pen. However, for a guest list over fifty, this isn't the most practical method unless you've got time to burn.
Hand written invitation sounds nice. However, that would really require time and effort. And you should have the skill as well. I mean, one must have a good penmanship to make it presentable. How many guests do you have? I think you should be practical.
I think it is much more personal and creative to handwrite the invitations. If anyone has time to do it, I find them much more beautiful then the pre-selected ones that we usually purchase. Some people don't seem to appreciate them as they are used to everything that's commercial, but I love them.
I had decided that I was going to order some and then just this week changed my mind. I found some really fabulous looking stationary and a metallic scrapbooking pen at a local crafting center and at that instance I changed my mind. Combined these look really great! I'm very happy with my decision.
It would be very nice to receive a handwritten invitation. Very personal and touching. It feels like you are the only guest she invites. But if I were the bride, I would rather get it done by a pros than write it myself. You know, I am the only person who can read my handwriting LOL.
I say it's a heck-of-a-lot of work to hand write them, so kudos to those who even attempt that.
Wow! I couldn't imagine hand writing letters because I have terrible hand writing. However, if I were to do so, I'd choose lovely staionery and envelopes and write away! Perhaps I'd put them into a traditional invitation format with a note to each person. I'm lousy at writing letters, but I think that I'd be amazed to receive a hand written wedding invitation.
