Unfortunately I never became a calligrapher or a type designer, but I DO plan to handwrite our invites! To refresh your memory, I've got a while (14 months?) so I've got the time.

I've been playing around with my handwriting and scanned in these three samples. Our wedding will be a laid-back, summer vineyard wedding with a lot of handmade items and a bit of geeky quirkiness. Knowing that, which handwriting style do you like?
1. Roman: This is probably the closest thing to my actual handwriting. I have fun writing the "l's" and the "h's".



I'm also toying around with a doodle of some sort to go along with the type--perhaps strawberries?

I love the 3rd one!!! Your handwriting is so neat. (My is atrocious due to the many years of typing.) Not sure if this link is helpful, http://www.yourfonts.com/, but it lets you create your own handwriting as a font. I know you plan on handwriting it (which is so cool!) but if you end up running out of time, check it out!
Oh wow--I did not know about this!
I actually just submitted the first roman font to Font for Peas (http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/how-to-get-your-handwriting-as-a-font/) but I'll take a look at the Font Generator in case that falls through. Thanks!
I agree - I like the 3rd one best. So cute and yet whimsical and fun!
I like the 1st and the 3rd handwriting. Apart from the obvious cursive in the 3rd one, they look quite similar. I would love to handwrite my invites but I don't think I'll have the patience like you!
#3 is my fave. your hand writing is super pretty :) i love it when penmanship is neat.
i like the 3rd one best too!!!
Love the 3rd one!!
I think 1 or 3 are the best :)
