The Handwritten Invite

Simple, handwritten invitations for both casual and formal affairs are fun, easy and feel personal. Here’s how:

• Use blank or personalized card stock you have on hand; to make things more festive, add an inked stamp of a fun icon.
• Keep wording basic: Who/what, date, time, place and any R.S.V.P. information.
• For a more old fashioned vibe, consider phrasing in terms of a question: “Won’t you come for drinks on Saturday?”
• Use your own handwriting, as long as it’s legible!
