Joe, I hand wrote the envelopes for the invitations to my son Nicolas' wedding last August.
They did look special.

Used an inexpensive Sheaffer fountain pen with a wide nib. In spite of the
fact I have terrible handwriting I managed some rather elegant penmanship.
Could not have done it with a ball point.

I use a fountain pen to take notes while on the computer. It helps my handwriting.
