I'm hoping some others on here may take an interest in Calligraphy writing.

Situation is this... my mothers getting married in August and has asked me to do some place cards (around 100 in total). I don't mind doing this as I'm quite creative and always enjoyed fancy writing when I did it years ago. It's more personal too as it's not paying some outsider to do it.

Anywho, I'm looking to purchase a reasonably priced Calligraphy set but my mind draws a close at Argos I would prefer to buy a cartridge one as I'm not the biggest fan of the old fashioned "dip pen into bottle of ink" method.

Anyone know a good place to buy a reasonable set that would see me good results at a fair price? I'm looking now and am struggling in all honesty

Ooh, almost forgot, I'd like a set with a good wide nib as Olde English is a favourite font of mine, ta.

My mum got herself one from WHSmiths for good money, although it was 3 or 3 years ago

The above lot because the personal touch means **** all to a bunch of drunken wedding guests!

Try Easons as they had a few sets the last time i was looking at buying them.

Agree with Jamz, sack using brain power, just download a tidy font and colour it in with a black biro
