How to Hire a Wedding CalligrapherFiled under: Working with Vendors Cheryl Hoffman Once you've selected the perfect wedding invitation, you should choose a calligrapher whose handwriting will complement the tone of your wedding. Even though mailing guests a calligraphed invitation is not a wedding requirement, there is something special about receiving a calligraphed envelope in the mail.

After hearing this sound piece of advice over and over, we ... |
