That s*cks. I really don't know. Since you can do them over the computer now I feel like Caligraphy isn't as popular. Try calling a high end stationary store -- they may be able to suggest something.

do you think it will be easy to learn from a book? I mean, it's just folowing drawings, no?

Try your local library... see if they have classes.
If not Michael's than what about AC Moore?

when i was younger (like 12) someone bought me a calligraphy kit and it was really easy to teach yourself - the penmakes it alot easier to make the fancy lines in the letters. Try a craft store or internet for teh kit - they're probably like under $20

There is just something about hand calligraphy on wedding invites that I just adore. it makes them seem so formal and fancy. I was originally going to do it on the computer, but figured if I can learn to do it and do them myself, I'd do it. if not, I'll print them on the computer.

I learned calligraphy a few years ago when I was into scrapbooking and I did invites and it's really not that hard. The pen you use definitely makes it look better. Just go to a craft store like Michael's and pick up a book or two and a good pen. It might be a little expensive, but worth it. I'm gonna re-teach myself so I can do them too. IF I have time, cuz I'm a BIG procrastinator.
