We’ve had the pleasure of working with a fabulous calligrapher. She does beautiful work. If you want her contact information, send us a note and we’ll happily provide it!

By the way, email is perfectly appropriate for many things.  According to the new Emily Post guide, email can be used for:

• An informal “save the date” notice to close friends and family.

• Invitations to informal or casual engagement parties, showers, and other pre-wedding get-togethers. Just be sure all your invitees use their e-mail on a daily basis, and don’t send out a “group e-mail”—send invitations individually.

• Information on lodging or maps and directions for out-of-town guests. This is a great use of the group e-mail option and “Dear All.”

• Wedding updates. Use this judiciously and don’t overwhelm your audience with daily news flashes.

• An optional RSVP on your invitation. Just be sure it’s an option! Add the following on a line after the RSVP: “If you prefer, you may reply by e-mail to happy couple@rsvp.com.” This is a great choice for an informal wedding or if the wedding is taking place on short notice.

• Wedding announcements, particularly if you and the recipient are on informal terms or if the wedding itself was informal.

But, for the real deal, invitations should be done by hand and that’s when a great calligrapher comes in.
