This is *exactly* what I was looking for! I have everything ready and just need to address the envelopes but I am such a perfectionist that I couldn't even dare to attempt free-handing it without some kind of guide. Thank you a million times! Also, to anyone using the wax seals, you can also buy these little double-sided sticker tab things so that you can pre-make them, then attach later. You just make the stamp on a silicone mat, pop it off, then attach the sticker.
Love seals & the pink Pearl essences envelope makes everything even more elegant. Loved the white pen idea. Used it once for a beautiful pink intricate envelope. Don’t know why it hasn’t occurred to me to do it again. I had loved it. I don’t blame your Friends. I wouldn’t want to break the seal either but they can always cut open the side of the wedding invitation envelope. Win, win. Keep the seal intact and see the invitation. Yay!
Omg! It looks good! I am in charge of all family invites for most events, got lazy and now use word mail merge with a cricut. I admire your dedication!
New subscriber here! My wedding is postponed to August due to COVID-19! But your wedding series has been helpful and now I have extra time to do them! ❤️
I’m so sorry you had to postpone your wedding! ): I know it’ll still be a special day and I’m glad that you’re able to work on more DIYs for your wedding! Thank you for your support 💛
would love to know how much you spend doing this yourself VS how much it would’ve cost you to get a stationary company to do it? Would also love to see your invites !!
Most calligraphers will charge per envelope, usually going for $1.50+/envelope on Etsy and that does not include the price of the envelope! So it definitely does add up. And here’s a link to my invite design: www.minted.com/product/foil-pressed-wedding-invitations/MIN-5BX-IFS/classic-elegance Hope this helps give you better perspective! (:
I think it just took a lot of practicing! I would emulate other people’s style and then did what felt natural to me. I still like to play around a lot with how I write letters, it’s really like drawing (:
I have a lot of pen pals (~10) and I always get charged the non machinable surcharge for putting the wax seal on the outside. I live in the US and mail within country if that matters
For my envelopes, I used a hot glue gun and glue gun wax seals! I also talk about it in another video: th-cam.com/video/tqaem7-rjlg/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps! (:
Hello Tina 👋🏽 lol I was wondering if you have ideas for wedding decor I can pack for my destination wedding. We’re only having one big round table for 10 of us Me, Him and our kids lol And I wanted some cute decor for our honeymoon room (it’s a brightly coloured “cabin” near the beach in the Bahamas) xx
I think since it’s such an intimate event, you should have very personalized pieces! For example, I got these laser cut place cards from Etsy for my wedding party and they loved them. Such a small item, but makes guests feel so special! I also would suggest you get in touch with some local artists and florists in the area so you can have items delivered straight to your destination (: I think florals can really transform a space! If I think of anything else, I will update you 💖
Oh! For your honeymoon, definitely get a sign with your last name or a banner. That makes for a great photo op! I would also suggest one of those married themed sun hats! I was gifted one at my bridal shower that said “Happily Ever After” and took some cute pics at the beach on my honeymoon (:

I had no idea the the post office charges more for calligraphy lettering. Thanks for the tip!
They charge more if their machines can't read it.

Can you make a video where you write out each letter in both caps and lower caps of the script font? It looks perfect !! Would love to learn
Love love your videos. I'm learning and trying to get everything ready for my wedding for next year. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for this sweet feedback, love hearing that my videos are helping brides like you! Congrats and good luck on your big day 💖

Gorgeous envelopes! Great tutorial.
did the postage give you any issue with the white ink?
Thank you so much for this vid-getting ready to address my daughter’s wedding invites. Could you share a link to the laser level?
Lowe's also
Where did you learn your calligraphy style?
I think it just took a lot of practicing! I would emulate other people’s style and then did what felt natural to me. I still like to play around a lot with how I write letters, it’s really like drawing (:
Do you have to pay extra to mail envelopes that have a wax seal?
It’s really dependent on the weight, not necessarily if you have a wax sea or not. But I put two stamps on each envelope just in case (:
I have a lot of pen pals (~10) and I always get charged the non machinable surcharge for putting the wax seal on the outside. I live in the US and mail within country if that matters
Very helpful! Thanks
So happy this video helps you out! Thanks for watching 💖
What do you mean the glue gun technic?
For my envelopes, I used a hot glue gun and glue gun wax seals! I also talk about it in another video: th-cam.com/video/tqaem7-rjlg/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps! (:
How do I learn to write calligraphy like you? Do you have a picture of the alphabets?
How much extra postage did you need when using the wax seal?
Shouldn't need any more.
So beautiful
Hi! Where did you buy your rose gold enveloppes? Thanks:)
Hey! I bought it from envelopes.com and there are so many options!
What pen did you use with the calligraphy pens?
😍 so talented! ❤️
Thank you so much honey 😍💖
Hi tina! Did you DIY your invitations as well?
Hi Patricia! No, I did not, I got my invitations from Minted (:
Can i do this for my stickers?

Tina Le oh Thanks Tina. These are great ideas. It’s always the simplest answers that are hard to find lol. Thank you 🤗💜 xx
That must have taken forever. 😊😊😊
I won’t lie and say it didn’t take me a couple tries to get it perfect for the video 😂
