Use a projector

[Rachel]

If you have to write a lot on a background and you struggle to keep it straight, or keep it looking nice, then hang a blank backdrop and use a projector to do the words. You can use the projector to trace the letters perfectly, or you can just project the words onto the blank wall or fabric, have the couple stand in front of it, and take your shot.

I figured this trick out last weekend. I had a couple that wanted me to photograph them in front of their wedding vows. It was a super cute idea, but my goodness did I struggle to write it out on my backdrop. After several tries, I finally got the idea to use a projector.

I've never done something like that before, but I have to make cue cards sometimes and I struggle to keep the lines straight across. The projector trick would work for something like that too.
