Re: calligraphy

I got a quote of $3.50 per envelope set ($3.50 for both envelopes). Is that good?

Re: calligraphy

That's so funny you posted this. I learned calligraphy course in High School, so I'm going to try to do it myself. I JUST came back from Border's where I bought a 'Learn Calligraphy' book to 'brush up'. It's a workbook. I figure that I can have nice calligraphy addressed invitations for the cost of a 10 dollar workbook and a calligraphy pen!

Re: calligraphy

sorry, i did ours...turns out that with a calligraphy pen and decent handwriting, you can make them look amazing without using true calligraphy. it took forever, but i did it!! i consulted someone on which pen to use for my particular style of handwriting...if you have decent handwriting, don't count yourself out just yet...try a couple and see first.

Re: calligraphy

For computer calligraphy, the best price I saw was on inkspun.com. I heard he is super fast and very good. Do a search, and you'll see some good review pop up.

Re: calligraphy

I used All Type Calligraphy- they are a vendor on here and it was $.90 for each outer and .30 for each inner. They came out beautiful and were done really quick.
