    I am trying to find an inexpensive way to address my save the dates (without doing it myself!). I got a quote for computer calligraphy for $4 per envelope and this sounds crazy!!! Did anyone use a good service for this?

    thank you!!!

    $4 an envelope for that is INSANE - you can get hand calligraphy for cheaper than that!!!! 

    I did mine myself

    I printed mine out in a light ink then traced it with a calligraphy pen.  Everyone thought it was real.  I ahve to warn you though - it TOOK. FOR. EVER.  Seriously.  If I could do it all over again Id have paid someone to do it.  But it is an option - I have very little patience so it started to irritate me lol

     

    Let me see if I can find a pic

    Inkcalligraphy.com - .39 for outer envelope and .29 for inner.  I plan to use them for my envelopes, only because I'm afraid of smears and messing up things on my home pc.

    I downloaded all their fonts and then messed aroundin paint until I found what I liked.

     

    Follow the instructions on the site on how to download the right way.

    definitely too expensive for my tastes!  I just downloaded a calligraphy font from dafont.com and printed my envelopes myself on my HP printer.

    Why don't you just buy an HP printer at Target and do the printing yourself?  I bought an HP Deskjet D2530 and saved quite a bit of money.  The only thing I had to buy was an extra cartridge since I started running out of ink. 

    I also used the printer to print out our wedding programs.
