Calligraphy isn’t just for addressing envelopes

It is becoming increasing popular to incorporate Calligraphy into the design of the invitation. This past winter I had the pleasure of creating the lettering for a Mississippi bride’s invitation. I penned the master artwork for the invitation, reply card and return address in the Claire style. The artwork was then scanned and sent as a high res digital file. The file can be taken directly to a printer or to an invitation designer. And I must say that having a simple hand written invitation letterpress printed looks quite amazing.

I also finished off the bride’s invitation suite by addressing her envelopes. Here is the feedback her mother sent me:

I just wanted you to know Laci picked up our envelopes yesterday. She was so very impressed with them, even the packaging. She said that you had done a beautiful job. Laci is 24 and very mature and knows quality work when she see it.

Thanks again for being so efficient and professional.
