Calligraphy Styles from Formal to Festive

There are many different forms of calligraphy styles to choose from when you’re planning your wedding invitations. Not only do you have to send invites to your wedding, you also need to send wedding invites to your wedding shower and reception as well. Choosing the perfect design can be time consuming and often overwhelming for the bride to be.

If you’ve picked a wedding date and are at the point in your planning that you’re ready to pick out invitations you will want to pick something that goes along with your wedding theme. You might be surprised at just how many wedding calligraphy styles there are to choose from. They have contemporary wedding invitations, humorous and funny wedding invitations, beach wedding invitations, Chinese wedding invitations, and many many more.

Many wedding couples will hire a wedding planner that will take care of every aspect of planning their wedding; this includes helping to pick out all the invitations. The planner usually shows you a selection of different styles of wedding invitations that goes with your wedding theme and all you have to do is select the one that you like. For the couples that can’t afford a wedding planner, selecting the perfect wedding invitation can be a bit more challenging and involve a bit more time and effort.

You can always hire a calligrapher who specializes in making wedding invitations. They will be able to show you the many different styles of calligraphy and help you pick something that goes along with the theme of your wedding. Some of the calligraphy wedding styles you have to choose from include Venetian or Cavalier, Bickham, Sloop, Flourished Cooperplate, Royal Script, Citadel, Rook, Flemish, Flourished Italic, Italic, Sans Serif Italic, Finer Hand, and Bookhand.

If you plan on having your wedding in the evening you may want to pick something that is more formal. Weddings that are held during the day can use something that is not as formal, even humorous if the need may be.

For the wedding couples to be that are on a limited budget and cannot afford to hire a professional calligrapher you might want to give a try at making the wedding invitations yourself. Check out your local arts and crafts stores. They have a wide selection of choices in calligraphy supplies for making all kinds of invitations yourself. If you’re a newbie to calligraphy art, many of the arts and crafts stores offer classes where you can learn the different types of calligraphy styles and how to apply them to your invitations. While this method can be time consuming, it is a lot of fun and you will be rewarded with a sense of pride when you finish your invitations. Handmade invitations are also something that can be kept as a keepsake by the wedding guests that you invite.

If you’re not the creative type, you always can find many different calligraphy styles for wedding invitations to choose from for any and all of the different wedding festivities that you may need.
