Writing the Names on Invitations is Tough.

One of the big tasks among wedding preparations is writing the names on the invitations.

For us modern people, who are so used to typing on computers and smartphones, even the act of "writing with a pen" is quite a challenge.

Sometimes, I even get nervous just writing my own name, so having to write the names of important guests beautifully and flawlessly for dozens of people is a daunting task.

Of course, the names don’t have to be handwritten, so it’s perfectly fine to print them with a computer or hire a calligrapher.

However, I really want to write them by hand with care for each guest...!

For brides who aren’t confident in their handwriting and are wondering if there’s a good way to do this, I found a useful trick!

【First, the Original】 A Trick to Trace Letters with Daiso's LED

In fact, there are several tricks to write beautifully by hand,

Among them, the well-known method among brides-to-be is this.

Buy a Daiso LED and a transparent file case, print out the letters you want to use as a guide, place that paper under the envelope,

and trace the letters as they shine through with light＊

Here’s how it looks. This article on marry also details the method.

But I Found an Even Easier Method!

The method of tracing letters using LED lights and transparent file cases is very innovative, but

☑ You need to print out the guide paper for each guest

☑ If the LED light is weak, the letters can be hard to see

are slight downsides.

Here’s a way to solve these downsides.

"Using tablet devices like Surface or iPad, illuminate letters and trace them!"

The method is simply placing the envelope over the tablet with the letters displayed on it and tracing along!

While using Daiso's LED is an option, printing out the guide letters can be a hassle. But by using a tablet, that printing hassle is eliminated♩

<How to Do It>

① Type the address and name in Word according to the size of the envelope.

② Remove the keyboard, secure the envelope with masking tape, and trace the letters that glow with light.

<Tips>

☑ Before removing the keyboard, set "Touchscreen Function Off" and "Auto-Rotate Off"

☑ For the address, keeping the character width around 80-90% makes it easier to write.

☑ Leave half a space between the name and the title (様).

☑ Use masking tape to secure about three spots (to prevent misalignment).

Also, holding the paper with your left hand or resting your hand on the iPad while writing can cause misalignment, so wearing gloves might be a good idea◎

Using Word on the iPad can be a bit troublesome in terms of settings. Using free font websites makes it easy♩

➡ Here’s the Font Navigator＊

Simply place the envelope on top of the tablet and trace the letters displayed on the screen.

It’s a very easy way to trace beautifully written letters!
