For you creative and DIY brides out there, here is a great site where you can scan in your own handwriting (or that of a friend/family member that you like) and they can turn it into a font. FOR FREE.
You’ll have to download the template and print it out. Once you do that, you just need to fill in all of the necessary information on the form by following the instructions. The next step step is to scan it into your computer as a PNG or JPEG format and upload it to the website.
The last step is to wait for it to upload. You’ll get to preview it to make sure you like it first, and then you can download it to your Mac or PC.
I tried it out for myself before I encouraged you all to use it, and it’s pretty spot on (and easy)! Check it out for yourself.
And, I’m sure you’re wondering if that’s really my handwriting. Yes, it is. It’s a pretty accurate representation.
Try it for yourself!

@Sarah I did (I tweeted about it, haha) and have been stuck on those posts the past hour or so, haha.
@Kristin The font thing could still be useful for parties or thank you notes!
