DIY Invitation Calligraphy

I love the look of calligraphy, but being a bride on a budget, I just don't have the money to spend $2 per envelope for someone to do it for me.  I came across a wonderful idea on Project Wedding about printing on your envelopes and then writing over them so it looks handwritten.  So, that's what I did.




I search on dafont.com for a script font I liked and finally settled on Honey Script.  Then, I did a bunch of trials to get the address centered on the invitation.  When I finally printed on the invitation though, the centering wasn't correct anymore, so I need to fuss with that a little more.  Then, I took a Uniball pen (can get them anywhere) and traced over the printed address.  It looks just like we paid a professional calligrapher.
