Bluebird Studios
Rebecca, over at Bluebird Studios recently sent me some pictures of her gorgeous hand lettering pieces .
Personally, I think that calligraphy is one of those things that truly takes an invitation design to the next level. Really good calligraphy can make a pretty invitation spectacular, bringing in another element of design and beauty to the overall look. And yet, most people still think that calligraphy options are limited to that over-the-top, scripty-scrolly look that has been around for centuries. Not even close. The options are endless…from lettering styles, to ink colors, to illustration and monogramming, calligraphy can be used in so many unique and beautiful ways.
Just take a look at Rebecca’s work to see what I mean…
High quality calligraphy ranges in price from $2-4 for inner/outer envelopes, depending on the complexity of your design, and up to $10 per piece for more elaborate items like menu cards. Smaller pieces like escort cards and table cards will run a bit lower. When you hire a calligrapher, make sure you see the samples in person (if they aren’t in your area, have them mail you some hard samples) as well as their book of styles. Chances are, if you find a great artist, they can do just about any style you’d like.
Also, think about incorporating calligraphy in unique ways…menu cards, thank you notes to guests, wall or floor decals, on favor boxes, the options are endless!
Oh! And check out Rebecca’s blog when you have a minute…it’s full of great stuff.

Hmmm... maybe it's just me, but I can barely read the writing! Of course if you picked a clearer style of calligraphy that would solve the problem. But for the ones you've shown here, I think they look cool but they wouldn't fly with me.
I agree with Laura. The writing is illegible. I would find this annoying if I got an invitation written in this manner.
I see what you guys are saying... I just love that it is so different. I get tired of the same old styles, so this is a bit refreshing to me. It could also have something to do with the photos, rather than the actual lettering. Check out her blog, as she has some other styles up there that are pretty great. Rebecca's style is way more whimsical and flirty, than formal.
