On a Budget?....You Can Still Have a Calligraphy Wedding
Calligraphy by Rachel Snyder
Wanting to have a "calligraphy wedding".....
If you are on a lower budget you can still be able to have a "calligraphy wedding" if you budget carefully. There are many different ways to add calligraphy to your wedding day without spending a fortune.
You may not be able to go ALL THE WAY with calligraphy but you can add calligraphy to different aspects of your wedding and reception that will absolutely stand out and impress.
Start looking for a calligrapher EARLY and make sure that you talk to them about your calligraphy needs, your dates, and try to have a realistic idea of what you are wanting to have done to make your wedding day stand out. Remember, there ARE a lot of B2B's with the SAME wedding date. You don't want to wait until the last minute to learn that your dates are not available.
Decide early, though this may be a struggle, what aspects of your wedding would you like to add calligraphy to accomplish your "calligraphy wedding."
Invitation Addressing?
Keepsakes for your Guests....
Wedding Programs?
Accessorize your reception with place cards, table signs, seating chart, menus, etc?
The things that you would like to accent with calligraphy may seem small but they will make a BIG statement and they WILL make excellent keepsakes for Guests. Not to mention adding that "elegant touch" to your wedding that will make your wedding unique and personal.
Shop around for a calligrapher so you can make sure you get exactly what you want to make your special day what you want it to be.
***Money saving tip: If you are good with a scanner and a printer you may consider having certain things handwritten and you can print these things in bulk.
***Get samples, Get Prices, make sure that if you have questions...you get answers.
***Also, remember that calligraphers' are HUMAN and make mistakes. And it is very normal for you to have changes and additions. Make sure that the calligrapher you are talking to has time for "YOU" ....
Your end result should be a beautiful "calligraphy wedding"
You Don't Get A Second Chance to Make A First Impression

Ordering extra envelopes
When you order your invitations you usually are see the price for an additional 25 envelopes at the time of order. This price is usually considerably cheaper than if you wait and then have to re-order.
It is wise to order your extra envelopes at the same time you order your invitations.
Extra envelopes will be used for additions, changes, mistakes, and what you have left over can be used for correspondence and still have beautiful, tasteful envelopes and/or stationary. They won't be wasted and you will be glad in the end that you took the stationers advice and ordered the extra 25 envelopes.
***When addressing your envelopes you want to make sure that you leave 5/8" space from the bottom of envelope up to the bottom line of address. For post office use.

Covering etiquette ; using a calligrapher
Elegant Touch Invitations
Calligraphy by Rachel Snyder
This particular entry is sort of a repeat with a twist; I want to let the B2B know that you can address your envelopes anyway that you choose, etiquette is courtesy, your invitations are to create a must attend status for YOUR GUESTS and your wedding invitation show guests what to expect, so give them something to remember, you want this to be on a personal level.
Things to remember when making your guest list to give to calligrapher
You DO NOT have to put and Family or children names on the outer envelope.
Just add the names of the people who are invited to the inner envelope.
Guests and Escorts:
Women usually bring an Escort
Men usually bring a Guest
so the inner envelope would read Miss Someone and Escort (or add the name of their guest)
***to put the actual word "and" is optional: for instance
with a married couple you would write Mr. and Mrs. Someone
on the inner envelope.
Married couple with different last names:
Ms. Jane Smith
Mr. John Somebody
Different lines are acceptable also to write the word "and" is optional.
On the inner envelope: The names can be on one line or two lines
**Just because the names are on 2 lines does not mean the couple isn't married
Woman is a Dr. and own surname:
Dr. (is acceptable) this is your choice
Dr. Jane Smith
Mr. John Smith ****again the word "and" is optional.
Married couple when male is a Doctor:
Dr.(Doctor) and Mrs. John Someone
Inside: Dr. and Mrs. Someone
Both couples are a DR.:
Dr. John Someone and Dr. Jane Someone
or The Doctors Someone
inside: The Doctors Someone
Married with hyphenated names:
Mr. and Mrs. John Someone-Somebody
inside: Mr. and Mrs. Someone-Somebody
***Divorced Woman:
OUTSIDE: Mrs. (or Ms.)
INSIDE: Mrs. (or Ms.)
What if Mrs. Someone is divorced and has a date
Do you want to put MRS. or MS. on the inner envelope along side her dates name?
Widow:
Outer: Mrs. Jane Someone Inner: Mrs. Someone
Single Man:
Outer: Mr. John (Middle) Somebody Inner: Mr. Somebody
Man and woman living together:
Outer: Ms. Jane (middle) (last)
Mr. John (middle) (last)
Inner: Ms. Last
Mr. Last
***This is "traditionally" speaking
*courtesy titles can be abbreviated
Do not spell out a given name if the person never uses it
If only a middle initial is known it is best to drop it completely
Jr. is acceptable, if you are going to spell it out use a lower case "j" junior.
