Calligraphy - The Art Of Fine Hand Lettering
Sara Finkelstein, invitation consultant and calligrapher at Yofi Design Invitation Studio (located in Downtown Delray Beach) has been doing calligraphy for the past 20 years. "Calligraphy is the art of fine hand lettering. Calligraphy has been around for hundreds of years. Don't mistake it for somebody's pretty handwriting." There are many lettering styles but the most common are Copperplate and Italic.
Brides spend so much time and care selecting the perfect invitations for their special day. That is exactly why calligraphy is so important. Clients are given etiquette education and strongly discouraged from using address labels on their envelopes. "Labels are fine for a business mailing, but totally inappropriate for your wedding." You see, before your guests even get to see your invitation, they see the envelope and how their name and address were lettered. Your guests will know the attention you put into it.
Calligraphy tends to be the smallest part of your bridal budget. So it is well worth having your envelopes and place cards professionally done. Your guests will appreciate the extra attention given to fine details.
