Recommended Posts

So I took a calligraphy class. Firstly, I hope to improve my penmanship because every lady should be able to write a beautiful letter - SIKE! In all seriousness I would like to write a beautiful letter to Dean on the eve of our wedding. I don't think I'll be ready in time to address the wedding invites, but by next february I should be decent...The class was very interesting and the instructors were so knowledgeable about history and the history of writing. I am excited for the next classes!

 

Here are a few samples from my class....

 

I am pretty good at tracing....

Very nice, and you may be surprised how much you remember down the line. I took calligraphy when I was like 12 or something and I was able to use what I rememberd to address our invitations. And the cool thing about calligraphy pens is that you can totally fake it and regular writing come out looking pretty cool!

 

You're right about the "s"..its sucks bad, you have to do it in 2 strokes, right? Mine never looked like the teacher's sad.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
