Your wedding calligraphy begins with the invitation or save-the-date and envelopes - but that's just the start! Menus, programs, place cards, seating charts, vows, escort cards, table numbers, thank you notes and even favors can all be designed in calligraphy to complement your theme. Aisle runners, aisle markers and chair signs are other ideas for adding lovely lettering. For a buffet consider a large menu or signs to identify each dish.
Wedding vows hand lettered in beautiful calligraphy for framing are a treasured memento. These are often ordered for first (paper) anniversary gifts. In addition, Quaker style (signed by all guests) vows are often used for non-traditional weddings and commitment services.

The groom asked me to letter his vows in a hand-lettered style to match the font on their invitations for a very thoughtful first anniversary gift. I love my sentimental and romantic grooms who remember that the first anniversary is 'paper' - how perfect hand-lettered vows are!
And don't forget the incidental signage that may help guests know what's what.
