If so how much? Who are you using. Is there a difference between computer or it being hand done?

Re: Is everyone doing Calligraphy?
I didn't do the callography, I couldn't see spending the extra money. I printed everything off of my computer, inner and outer envelopes.

Re: Is everyone doing Calligraphy?
Do you have a template for the envelopes or did you just do it on a clear label?

Re: Is everyone doing Calligraphy?
I didn't do labels, I just set up the margins on my computer to print them out in the center of my envelopes. I can look for the margin set up if you would like, but I did have square invitations with square envelopes, that will make a difference

Re: Is everyone doing Calligraphy?
My mom did my calligraphy- she used to teach it. They came out beautiful.
I didn't think people would care about handwritten vs. printed (and I still think they don't), but EVERYONE was calling me asking who'd done the calligraphy and how pretty it was.
It was a nice touch I was glad to add.....

Either by hand or computer, I haven't decided yet, I need to get some quotes. One place is 1.25 each if we give them the template. We also might do them ourselves but I am really afraid of messing up.

FMIL offered to do ours since she said she used to teach calligraphy...so technically I'm paying nothing!!
The only catch is, they will have to be done over Thanksgiving weekend, since that's the next time we'll see her before the wedding!! (His parents are in NH)

I did calligraphy and it came out beautifully... 2 dollars per envelope and it's some of the nicest calligraphy I've ever seen. The girl that did it is in Florida though . . ..

Ditto. FH is a computer geek and he volunteered as soon as I mentioned them being handwritten.

Re: Is everyone doing Calligraphy?
I much prefer hand calligraphy - especially when it is willowy and wispy.
