i never comment on youtube videos ever but i just want to let you know that i followed this for my own wedding on sunday and it looked so good people didn't even realize i made it myself. thank you so much!!!
That is the best gift!! Now you can learn and make it as a gift yourself how cool would that be?! You have the creative talent already so easy as pie!!
You are so detailed and I love it especially since I’m a person with a learning disability…… I will be doing this idea for my daughter sweet 16…. ❤️ Thank You….
Thank you for sharing this! Love the tips on what to use for pens and cleaning, so helpful! I find placement is the most difficult when trying to write something and your tape method will be so helpful with that!
Oh I am SO happy you found this helpful!! Like I said it has become second nature to me so I was hoping that I explained it all clearly enough for others to try themselves :) If it is intimidating to try on a large scale you can always try it on a smaller mirror first but I promise, once you get the hang of it you will LOVE it!!
Thank you for this video!!! I’m doing all the signage and seating chart for my friend’s wedding and didn’t know how to organize the chart. I need to do it at the venue right before so speed is key!! So appreciated!
You are so welcome! I’m so happy that you can use this method, it for SURE will speed up the process! Let me know how it comes out, can’t wait to see it❤️
You are my new found passion!!❤️❤️❤️I love to write. Have been trying to learn calligraphy on my own for a bit by following a book and watching tutorials, but this seating chart comes right on time for my God daughter’s Sweet 16, next year. 🎉 Love, Love, Love it and how you’ve come along and all you’re sharing. God continue to bless you and your family! ❤️❤️
I’m so happy to help karen! You are going to do great!! If you have any questions along the way, DM me any questions :) Thank you so much for the kind words❤❤
Thank you Mary!! So happy you love it!! I use one line of space and then one line for my table header, but i usually take up some space from that line above me for taller letters :)
Thank you for this tutorial! One question: when you wrote each name, then you pulled off the horizontal tape in the column to the vertical tape, did you use an exacto knife to get such a clean cut to the vertical tape you did to separate the columns? I watched the video a number of times thought I missed a step.
That’s so funny you mention that, I never noticed how exact I rip tape😂 I must have done it so often over the years it became easy to make it so exact! I would use my other finger as a guide to rip or even a ruler would help too! If it’s not exact when ripping I find that easier to pull up from when moving on to the next column ❤
Beautiful job and tips! How far in advance would you say is safe to get it completed? If a week before the wedding will the paint hold or start to wear off?
That’s plenty of time! My paint never wears off even for years later which is crazy! The only thing that would get in the way is anything scratching the ink, otherwise it is safe!
I’m having trouble with my Decocolor marker! When I to go back to thicken some of my letters it takes off the acrylic from when I first wrote it out and you can see all the strokes so it doesn’t look clean. This happens even if I work on one letter at a time. Does the acrylic ever rub for you when you go back to thicken letter?
So efficient! Thank you for sharing so many of the tips that I know come from a lot of experience! Do you ever have issues with the Decocolor pen not writing properly writing on a standing mirror? Sharpies sometimes stop flowing at that angle. Do you depress during the process to get the paint "flowing" again?
Thank you Macie! I actually love the Decocolor MORE because it does not need as many presses! But I do find that I depress often out of habit, but that the ink never over flows or spills like a sharpie does making it easier to write at this angle :) Appreciate you watching and hoping to share more!
I would say around a 30x40 mirror or larger for that amount of people, depending how it’s organized I would suggest grouping couples together to help save on lines if needed ❤
Aww thank you! I would love to offer classes like these in the future! My events are all on my website www.anteaamorosodesign.com be on the lookout for new events coming up xoxo
This one is 78” tall and about 30” wide I believe :) I no longer have this one to measure for sure but I bought it at HomeGoods and have always seen similar there!
What type of maker are you using? The sharpie markers I definitely agree look very streaky! Try the Decocolor, it’s my go to favorite! If you need any help DM me I’m happy to❤❤

Amazing! And that room is my dream! 👏
I rented a seating chart as a gift for the bride, and it was a work of ART. Best wedding gift ever!
That is the best gift!! Now you can learn and make it as a gift yourself how cool would that be?! You have the creative talent already so easy as pie!!
Antea made my seating chart for my wedding and I received SO many compliments on it!!
The best wedding!!! Your matron of honor had a pretty good speech I hear too ;)
You are so detailed and I love it especially since I’m a person with a learning disability…… I will be doing this idea for my daughter sweet 16…. ❤️ Thank You….
Loved it, I'm starting off in calligraphy and thus gives me a lot of ideas that this can be applied on just about anything 😮
I just got a mirror calligraphy job and after watching your video I'm so inspired ~~ thank you so much for sharing!!!

THIS. IS. GENIUS!!! 🤯 Thanks so much for sharing! 🤗
I’m so happy you love it!! Let me know how it goes and tag me on insta so I can share!!❤️❤️
Your studio looks fantastic! Do you have A/C in your garage?
Thanks for this. It takes me days to do a whole seating chart including gridding, charting and prewriting😅
You’re so welcome! I hope you love this method!
WOW!! Love your studio!
Thank you so much!! It’s my happy place!
Great video!! Did you use the same acrylic marker for Heading and the guest names?✍🏽
Beautiful!
Thank you!❤❤
You are so talented
Thank you Dee for always supporting me!!
Great job! Do you make them for customers?
I do!! I used to rent my mirrors but now I provide the lettering service on client provided signage ❤
I have watched this video a million times 😊 It is amazing. Question:when you say 64 lines, how many lines are you allowing for your table numbers?
Thank you Mary!! So happy you love it!! I use one line of space and then one line for my table header, but i usually take up some space from that line above me for taller letters :)
nice job!!

Approx what would be the size of the area your writing on with that particular mirror( (LxW)?
Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing! I absolutely love the cheetah print on your video header.. where did you find it? My craft room is grey cheetah!
Thank you! My editor @katieleathley created it!
@@AnteaAmorosoArtistry you could sell that as a digit copy! It's stunning!

What size mirror do you recommend for about 150 guests with 18 tables?
I would say around a 30x40 mirror or larger for that amount of people, depending how it’s organized I would suggest grouping couples together to help save on lines if needed ❤
Where do you live? I would love to take classes from you.
Aww thank you! I would love to offer classes like these in the future! My events are all on my website www.anteaamorosodesign.com be on the lookout for new events coming up xoxo
This is different. In my mind, I’m just like use a dye cutting machine and keep it moving.
Absolutely works! I always found hand lettering easier, however you feel most comfortable💛💛
What size mirror is the one in this video??
This one is 78” tall and about 30” wide I believe :) I no longer have this one to measure for sure but I bought it at HomeGoods and have always seen similar there!
My marker is streaky! No matter what i do
