This book is easy to read, easy to use, and easy to understand. It is a complete run down of all the necessary details and niceties to make for a wonderful, memorable wedding. She is not overbearing on the etiquette aspect of a wedding, but gently and kindly explains the effects of doing things in a "proper" way. I have enjoyed reading this and have found it enormously helpful. I would suggest this as the first place to go for wedding advice.
Discover expert advice for every aspect of the wedding - from the engagement period, the budget, wedding invitation etiquette, the rehearsal, the ceremony and reception.
my mother is about to do them and thinks any old pen is fine but i don’t know.
I think that it isn’t nessary to buy a new pen. But a really good pen to use would be a fountain pen, so if you don’t have one of those, then I would go out and buy one
Brides have got enough on their plates already without the added stress and strain of delivering a funny, witty, and touching speech in front of everyone they’ve ever cared about (not least of whom is their husband-to-be!)
This book has been designed to cater to every last need of the Bride on her wedding day – everything you could ever need for designing, writing, and delivering an unforgettable speech; how to handle those awkward wedding situations; how to keep everything running smoothly – and above all, how to keep calm, confident, and enjoy yourself.
The ultimate resource for Brides, this book gets two emphatic thumbs-up!

I think that as long as its clean and writes nicely its fine. But if you are going for a professional look you should look for a nice inky pen that will be sleak and professional.

Just make sure you have a good one that does not make blobs. It is somewhat a tradition to buy a nice one, then it becomes your signature pen as long as you wish it to be, or becomes a keepsake. And you use it for the thank you cards, too.
If you are a sentimental person, go get yourself a Cross pen. If not, BIC might do you just fine.
Congrats!

Sure, you should do them yourself and keep the pen for memorabilia and if you get divorced you can sign the papers with it.

Dear Miss Susan G. Oh, I feel your pain. After stressing over the color of the BMs’ underwear, now we have to figure out whether or not to use your old pen. But, do you not have any other pens in the house? You just have one? I would take a scratch piece of paper, and try writing with the old pen, and see how it looks. Maybe you will both either agree or disagree, and your problem will be solved. But, if one says "yes, it looks fine" and the other says "no, it looks awful" then you have to agree to disagree, and in that case I think buying a new pen would be in order. But, I would stress that the person who said "no" should be the one who pays for the new pen. That would be my little tip for this problem today.

Definitely need a special pen. You really should pay someone to do these for you so they are done right. What do you want people to think?

I would…perhaps a fine tip sharpie….or a metallic pen…why not fancy them up? I’m sure they were pricey..

Don’t use metallic markers – the xylene bleeds through paper like nobody’s business and the metal can scratch off.
If you’re using your usual handwriting, you may want to use a higher-end version of your favourite brand and type of pen. Your choice of calligraphy will dictate the best pen to use, however. Use a square nib for Italic, Gothic, Uncial or Roman; a pointed fountain pen nib for cursive styles like copperplate, Spenserian or Palmer methods. Aim for consistent neatness and proportion, but not perfection.
