Five-hundred hand-made invitations, Part I…

Okay, so fifty pictures of each of the ten headshots… no big deal, right? And what’s a little calligraphy on each one, inviting them all to her “Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow” party? It shouldn’t take me that long… right?

Wrong. So very, verrrry wrong.

And the best part was, she wanted me to do this overnight. Was she f’ing kidding me?! My hand started hurting after doing about twenty of the invites. (I never knew my hand was so out of shape.) I thought about how I could cheat… Could I make a stamp in calligraphy font and use that? But would it look real enough? What if one came back in the mail and she was able to notice that it wouldn’t smudge like regular calligraphy ink? Or could I pay someone else to do them for me? Or maybe I could teach my friends calligraphy (I can see my mass email now: “Learn calligraphy for FREE in just ten easy steps!”) and have them each do a few? My mind started racing for a solution…
