Let’s face it – the majority of mail that people receive in their mailbox is generic and underwhelming. And those are two words that you most definitely do not want used to describe your wedding invitation envelopes. The envelopes are the first tangible piece of your wedding that guests will see. That first impression should be unforgettable! The envelopes can do so much more than just serve a functional purpose – they can spark excitement and set the tone for the type of celebration you’re hosting. The envelopes should be special. And calligraphy is special – it’s a timeless and inspired artistic expression of words. Your guests will be delighted to open their mailbox and discover a beautiful envelope with elegant calligraphy personally addressed to them. That type of feeling and emotion cannot be replicated with digitally printed envelopes.
Envelope calligraphy is a wonderful way to add another layer of distinctiveness to your invitations, which helps make the entire wedding experience feel more personal for you and your guests. Looking for even more? Opt for vintage postage stamps – they bring so much character to your envelopes while also adding subtle, meaningful details like nods to special places and interests. I work with trusted vintage postage sellers who will curate a set specifically designed for you. Intentional details are the key to an elevated and memorable wedding.
Another benefit to investing in envelope calligraphy for your wedding invitations is that you’ll have a keepsake that can be cherished for long after the wedding. I always recommend framing the envelope, too – such a charming and unique piece of art for your home!
From the ink color and calligraphy style to envelope layout and mailing timelines, I collaborate closely with your stationer to ensure that the envelopes are cohesive with your invitation suite and that the process is streamlined and stress free for you. I offer a variety of calligraphy and lettering styles to match the tone and aesthetic of your celebration – versatility is where it’s at.
Are you ready to set the stage for your wedding celebration with custom calligraphy on your invitation envelopes? Trust me, you won’t regret it. And mailboxes everywhere will thank you.
