You’ve picked out the perfect invitation, settled on the proper wording and all that’s missing now is the “Wow factor.” Calligraphy can add that finishing touch to a simple, classic invitation. 

One approach to calligraphy on wedding invitations is to only use this elegant, elaborate type for just a few words, instead of the whole invitation. This approach is especially helpful to brides who are designing their own invitations or who don’t have the budget to commission calligraphy for the entire invitation. 

For a bride focused on consistency throughout her entire invitation suite, ceremony programs and reception pieces, hand-calligraphy can be used to tie all her individual pieces together.

For the DIY bride, there are calligraphy alternatives for you, as well. You, yourself, can learn to calligraphy and do your own invitations, or can employ a computer calligraphy program to produce the calligraphy for your invitations.

You’ll be glad to hear that calligraphy lends itself to brides of all tastes and budgets, so with a little research, every bride can incorporate this beautiful, timeless type into her wedding invitations and ceremony/reception pieces.

“Calligraphy” can be translated to mean “beautiful writing” and there’s no reason everything about your wedding shouldn’t be beautiful!
