Writing straight on save the date envelopes?

No one will notice if you write crooked. I learned this by trying really hard to make the first few straight and then ceasing to care when that to be a pain in the butt. So they got a more and more sloppy as I went along and everyone still got them.

Also my FMIL has awful handwriting and she did some of my invitations. They made it too :-)

Use a ruler?

I found a trick a while ago.... Run the envelope through the printer with the font you want, but only print it with a very light color. Then just run back over it with the pen that you are using.

Personally, I just put a card down on the envelope, and the edge of the card indicates the line I will be writing on. Basically like a ruler that you move along, as you write.

I just wrote them out. I can't write in a straight line either. I figured the STD's aren't formal so it doesn't matter. I will be printing out labels for the invites though lol

I just printed out really bold lines in word. Then I slipped them inside the envelope and was able to see the lines through the envelope and used them as a guide.

My mom used to do calligraphy and she had a light box. I'm sure you can find them at hobby lobby, jo-ann's, michaels...they aren't very expensive. She had a lined card and would slip inside the envelope and the light would show them perfectly.

Labels! I don't think anyone cares, honestly.

I have the same problem and just took my time (like a snail's pace!)

*As long as your pen won't smear* draw lines with a ruler and pencil as faint as you can. Barely visible at all. When the ink is dry erase the pencil lines.

Miss S and Future Amy Everhart, genius ideas! Thank you for sharing.

One of the sites (maybe wedding paper divas? can't remember) has a template that you print out and insert into envelopes. Actually all you have to do is type a bunch of lines double or triple spaced and print them out. Bold them if your envelopes are thick. Stick 'em in the envelopes and use as guidelines.

A ruler! I always line up the ruler up with the edge and then hold the ruler really still and just write over it. No lines or anything and it looks neat and clean! Hope this helps! good luck!!
