Becky and Josh came to The Wishing Room looking for an invitation that would fit their cool, eclectic style, honor their gold and gray color scheme, and hold a ton of information for their guests. The result was this: a hand-bound booklet that features wedding festivities, maps and directions, local eateries and lodging, and fun information about the ceremony. Die-cut response cards were tucked in the back of the invite booklet. I love this type of project and was so happy to be able to do it for Becky and Josh!

There is nothing like receiving a letter in the mail that looks like a mini piece of art. Vintage postage stamps, used in multiple denominations across the front of your letters or invites add a beautiful touch to your post. Combine vintage postage with hand-lettered calligraphy for an envelope that won't ever meet the recycling bin. Contact The Wishing Room for vintage postage for your letters.

These sweet cherry blossom place cards were the perfect touch to a spring wedding. Each blossom was hand made and assembled with guest's names on a circle of cherry wood veneer.

These tiny custom made Air Mail envelopes make perfect seating cards. The envelopes, measuring just 2.5 x 1.75 inches, hold the table number assignment, and are sealed with a tiny Par Avion ("By Air") sticker. Names and table numbers are hand-lettered with pen and ink.

Add some style to your letters, invitations or holiday cards with hand-lettered calligraphy. I use nib pens and ink to add addresses, write letters, or name your placecards. With many colors of ink (and paper and envelopes) to choose from, your project will be beautiful! Email me (see link in the right sidebar) with your calligraphy project needs.
