Handwritten wedding calligraphy lays the foundation for an elegant wedding

Today, handwritten calligraphy books add style and elegance to the event more than ever. Once you find an expert calligrapher to write your address the way you choose, it is important to organize your address list and follow the correct etiquette.

The exquisite art of hand-made calligraphy conveys your personality and sets the tone for your celebration. Follow the steps below to organize your invitation list and use the correct invitation agreement.

10 tips for planning an invitation

1. Let the calligrapher complete the envelope for at least two weeks.
2. Order 15% extra envelopes to allow for errors and last minute additions.
3. If she has deleted her maiden name, or if the couple is not married, then the lady's name first appears on the envelope.
4. The names of children under the age of 18 should be listed by qualifications.
5. The names of children over the age of 18 living in the same residence should be listed by qualifications. They should also have an envelope separate from their parents.
6. If a friend invites a visitor, please get their name as much as possible.
7. Avoid using "and family" if possible.
8. Women are usually used for single women over the age of 21, or for professionals who are unidentified when they are married.
9. Invitations should be arranged 6-8 weeks before the wedding, unless the date card is saved, then 4-6 weeks is sufficient.
10. If someone has the title of "doctor", their name and title will first be listed on the invitation letter.

Remember to prove your address list to make sure you have the correct name spelling and accurate zip code. You should always provide additional envelopes for calligraphers in order to add last minute additions, changes and errors. It is a good idea to have your calligrapher keep some envelopes after your project is completed so that you can add them quickly.

You may also want to give your calligrapher a copy of the event invitation to allow them to customize the handwritten calligraphy to match. Custom ink colors are also usually available. Keep in mind that high quality paper will also better display calligraphy.

Envelopes traditionally used for invitations include both internal and external envelope kits. However, due to today's "green movement", the bride may choose to use only one envelope. Therefore, the external envelope address will include other names for guests and children.

While traditional invitations use white or off-white envelopes, more modern invitations may include a variety of paper colors and paper styles. Keep in mind that if your invitation is dark blue [such as dark blue or brown], you may need to use ink colors other than black, such as white, silver, or gold. You should discuss custom colors with calligraphers because sometimes extra fees are required.
