If there's one thing I think a person should splurge on - with time or money - for an event invitation (mail in general), it's hand lettering for the envelopes. Although a great idea and huge timesaver, using adhesive labels just doesn't cut it. Take my word for it, a hand addressed envelope done by yourself or a professional is a little bit of love for your guests. Above are some of my favorite calligraphers, all having different signature styles. Don't be afraid to look for a local calligrapher and if you're feeling gutsy, ask to develop a new style for your event.
I absolutely agree! Calligraphy is beautiful. Yes, it takes more time & money, but it is very worth it.
