I used it on my STD envelopes and everyone asked me how long I had to practice to write so beautifully! People were astonished when I admitted that I printed their addresses! Scriptina is nice, but in order to read it right you have to blow it up so big the spacing starts looking funny. Killigraphy has a funny name, but it looks very much like calligraphy. No swirls or anything, but it does look very hand written. EightFifteen and Hanibal Lecter both look nice too, although they too lack tons of swirls and fancy bits.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/best-fonts-for-faux-calligraphy#post-830130 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 07:17:51 +0000 acallahan 830130@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I actually found a font that looks like I (or a professional)&nbsp;handwrote it when printed, it is on dafont.com under calligraphy, called Jellyka Saint Andrew's Queen. It is a funky font, but since my invites are sort of on the non-traditional side it works.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/chinese-wedding-tradition#post-431259 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:59:34 +0000 JanetLee01 431259@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I think you can invite her, and be the bigger person.&nbsp; However, she probably might not attend because she can be that traditional.&nbsp; If she does attend, then she says one thing and does another.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/chinese-wedding-tradition#post-431252 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:57:43 +0000 JanetLee01 431252@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm an American born Chinese and my parents are from Hong Kong.&nbsp; I have actually heard about that.&nbsp; My mom told me it's bad luck if the two "clash" by attending each other's wedding in a short period of time.</p> <p>My mom told me that it is bad luck to have two son's hold weddings in the same year.&nbsp; That is "clashing" within the family.</p> <p>It's true if you believe it, otherwise it should not bother anyone.&nbsp; Hope this helps.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/chinese-wedding-tradition#post-368219 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:37:39 +0000 photoist 368219@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm chinese/vietnamese and I don't agree with many of the traditions in my family, so needless to say those traditions will die with my generation! For the time being, there's really nothing you can do, after all it's not your wedding.&nbsp; Does it seem like your cousin agrees with it?&nbsp; Or she is just going along with it b/c her fiance's family is overbearing? I have seen brides get bullied by asian families and that's just not cool. Don't mean to pass judgment on your cousin, it's just that this stuff happens way too often, so brides need to stand up for themselves.&nbsp; But, if she actually agrees with the whole bad luck thing, then don't invite her!&nbsp; Invite someone else who would actually want YOU at their OWN wedding. :)</p> <p>Whoops I didn't realize that this post was written months ago.&nbsp; How did everything turn out?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/best-fonts-for-faux-calligraphy#post-339799 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:39:20 +0000 ladybuglove 339799@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@kellyv: thanks for the info! yours look fantastic too!!!! i must have been reading too fast....for some reason, i thought you were showing us mrs. lemon's. lol. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/best-fonts-for-faux-calligraphy#post-338547 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:21:45 +0000 KellyV 338547@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@krissycake -&nbsp;those came out beautiful!&nbsp; How lovely, that font is perfect</p> <p>@ladybuglove - not sure about krissycake's but mine ended up taking about 15 minutes per invite (outer and inner).&nbsp; We also had many with&nbsp;5-6 lines of text&nbsp;(2 guest names instead of Mr and Mrs, since we live in NYC and lived in DC a lot of Apartment No. ##, etc)&nbsp; Plus mine is a thicker font so there was a lot of filling in.&nbsp;</p>
