In honor of this week's Write it Down and Link it Up party, I thought I would share a few of my favorite ways to integrate calligraphy and even your own handwriting in your wedding!
If you can't hire a calligrapher to do all of your wedding envelopes, why not have someone hand letter an element for you invitations? Or why not try your own hand at fake calligraphy, or even just regular script for your place cards or a menu board?
I'm obviously a fan of handwriting, and I think that using your own handwriting in your wedding is a great way to add a touch of personality! It doesn't matter if your writing is perfect, it's yours and it's your wedding.

And of course, we can't forget about after the wedding. Here are a few facts about your thank you notes:
- Common belief is that you have one year from your wedding to send out thank you notes. Unfortunately, this isn't really polite, and it's actually expected that you get your notes out within three months of receiving the gift.
- If you get a shower gift, try your best to get your note out as soon as possible, preferably before your wedding.
- People will know if you just cut and paste your thank you notes. Be sincere, and mention what you will do with their gift (whether it be money or an item). I have a problem with this, but there's a great post here on how to write thank you notes.
- Emily Post has additional thank you note etiquette and advice here.
The Wedding Wednesday link up will be back next week! In the meantime, you can link up your handwriting posts here!
