I didn't really 'learn' it but I have pretty nice handwriting so I wrote out my own inner envelopes with a calligraphy pen. I think they came out pretty damn good! I had my outer envelopes printed digitally. That would've been just too much for me.

I thought about it too...I doubt that I'd be able to do it as nicely as it would look if it were done on the computer.

Re: hand calligraphy

I've been attempting to do calligraphy for the past 5 years, have bought a bunch of kits w/ books over the years and placecards I can do but i had zero confidence in myself to do my own envelopes...i ended up printing them in a nice font on my computer...i have good handwriting too but believe me calligraphy is not as easy as it looks!
