Copycat Caligraphy

I was recently hired by a dear family to address some invitations for an upcoming event! They wanted me to do something pretty, but nothing too ornate, so after scouring Pinterest for some ideas, this is what I landed on! After clicking, then clicking again, then clicking again, I ended up on the website with this font for a “fake calligraphy!”

I had a lot of fun on this project and was pretty excited with the end result! Of course, what I did isn’t near as pretty as the real font (which I DID buy, by the way! I’m not totally ripping it off!) but printing from the computer onto envelopes has never really worked out very well for me…

Hopefully these brighten the days of the people who check their mailboxes and find these! 🙂 Gotta love a pretty piece of mail!

Do you have a go-to font that you like to copy from time to time?! I’m always looking for pretty new ones to download!

    My .02 is that hand lettering is much more special than using a computer font… and yours looks fantastic.
