What’s the deal with handwritten envelopes? The reason behind handwritten envelopes is the same as handwritten thank you cards - it’s personal. However, there are many people who feel uncomfortable with their hand writing (with thank you notes this is just something that can’t be avoided), but there are other options! Many couples will hire a calligrapher to write all of their addresses, which is fantastic. This saves so much time and looks absolutely beautiful with a skilled artist. Rates can range from $2.00 per envelope and up. However, many calligraphers will give font options and colors which is great for a custom suite. If time is getting a bit short, a calligrapher can’t be arranged, and the there is no other option than one could print the addresses in a script font. There are many great fonts that can replicated that of a calligrapher, but will not capture the details of one. If this route is chosen be sure to set up the files properly for printing. This can be one of the most time consuming parts and time might just be saved by writing them out by hand anyways. |
