    I had originally thought about printing the envelopes and then tracing them. Well, I bougth some gel pens that match the ink of the save-the-dates perfectly, but I cannot trace some beautiful caligraphy with those pens. So, I am considering either printing and tracing in Lucida Calligraphy font which is not so pretty, or just plain printing in the Chopin Script font which is the one I really like and will probably use for other paper/stationery projects. Here is what they look like. the first is the Chopin and the second is the one I would trace:

    I don't think so - the save-the-date is generally more casual.  I hand-wrote mine, but not in a nice neat way (more like a my-handwriting-is-like-a-6yo way, lol).  Go for it!

    Oh I hope not... lol because I printed mine. STD's are just like a "heads up" right? I say just print 'em & save the hard work for your invites :)

    I hope so! I printed my addresses for the STD's!

    I say save your sanity and print them, and then for the invites - write them out.
