One of my favorite things I get to do as a station One of my favorite things I get to do as a stationer is address envelopes by hand.Every letter is written with intention and every envelope ends up a little different because it’s hand done! It’s these details that bring your guests so much joy when they actually hold it in their hands and can feel the letters and the time and thoughtfulness that went into writing it out.This is the first impression of your entire wedding. Even before they see the actual invitation.It is also one of those things that tends to spread through a wedding day once couples fall in love with it. Envelopes become place cards. Place cards become escort cards. Escort cards become mirror signage and so on.Handwritten details have a way of showing up everywhere and I love every second of it.If calligraphy is on your vision board, reach out. I would love to hear about your wedding. Or comment handwritten below and I will send you the link to learn more.
