Hello all,

Calligraphy is a form of beautiful writing that spans back to the time of Ancient Greece.  Wikipedia defines it as “A contemporary definition of calligraphic practice is “the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner”.  With that, Calligraphy has found its way into the world of weddings.  It is mainly used when addressing the outer and inner envelopes for wedding invitations.  However, over the years, we have seen a wide use of this artful style of writing- escort cards, table numbers, signage, menu cards, etc.  Please see below some of our favorites:
