When doing your own wedding invitations, the subject of how to print them is typically "top of mind". One option that many consider is to have their invitations done by a calligrapher. Calligraphy is a "by hand" process that can add time to the task of creating and sending invitations, but the result is stylish, high-impact invitations.
Most people considering calligraphy do not really know that much about it or where to start. Fortunately, the Style Me Pretty blog has an excellent series of three articles on wedding calligraphy:
