Invites out, saw calligraphy for the first time! Squeeee!

L + R, on July 11, 2014 at 2:59 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 20

So I sent my invites to one of my bridesmaids to be addressed. She is such an artist and I asked her to do calligraphy for them. She lives 500 miles away so I did not see them before she sent them out (although she sent sneak peeks). I walked into pick up my daughter from daycare and her Godmother had it laid out on the counter for me to see! I squealed a little, yes.

Below is the inner envelope. I didn't even ask her to do calligraphy for these, just her normal handwriting would've been fine.

Whatcha think?

    @THE Mrs. Russell, she's totally getting a sweet gift from me in the mail this weekend.

    Thank you for the compliments, all. I am super excited to see these start popping up in my mailbox. Smiley smile

    Wow!! They look great!!!

    I noticed on your profile it says you're from Seagrove Beach, FL. We used to go there every Year from spring break! Such a beautiful area!!

    @KT, Eek, no not from there. I thought that was the ceremony location spot? I'm from MS, living in Indy. Good to know the area is loved though. It was the first and only location that I've ever visited the beach. A friend frequents there annually with her family. I'm super stoked. Thank you!

    Oh okay! Well yes, it is a beautiful area!! Lots to do and Destin, FL is right down the road with lots of shopping and restaurants! You'll have fun while you're down there!

    Idk a lot of people might put the ceremony location as their city and state but I thought it was where you live. Idk though cuz my ceremony was in the same city that I live in. I live in South Bend, IN which is like 2.5 hours from Indy!

    That looks amazing. My FBIL is doing our calligraphy, but I'm having him send the envelopes back to me so that I can stuff them and mail them out. I have no idea what they're going to look like, but I can't wait to see them!!

    That's so awesome! I love that it's beautiful and classy but also fun. Not your grandmother's calligraphy. Smiley tongue

    She's the best. And not even my MOH. My MOH received hers in the mail and Snap Chatted me with a sad face, saying, "I want to do something!" She's not too creative though. I have enough on my DIY list, I'll find something for her to do soon I'm sure...
