By Iva Cannon


Invitations to birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries, celebrations, or any other special events are important pieces of paper that must be done properly. They are what will ensure that your expected guests learn about the date, time, and reason for the party, after all. They are also the ones that can ensure the attendance of guests.

Having a plain invitation should be fine. However, you may want to boost the attendance of the guests who will be celebrating with you. Thus, you may want to delve into the world of calligraphy, making the lettering in your invitation pretty. With this idea at hand, you better commission a calligrapher to write for you.

You will find hiring the professional a good idea, especially if you want some special designs on the invitations. You can easily reach out to the guests in the most personalized way possible when you have the professional's services. If you hire the best one for the job, you can get the most of your money for that.

The commissioning of this professional should be done with great care. The one you hire must be one who is really capable of giving you the best design you can find. If you want to hire the best, then you should use some tips for hat. Here are a few of those tips you should remember if you want to hire a professional who can do a good job.

First, you have to make sure that you use only the seasoned professionals with years of experience backing him or her up. You should ask for that professional's portfolio containing samples of his or her work. The said portfolio should demonstrate the professional's ability to do a number of lettering styles such as bookhand or italic.

You have to avoid a pseudo-calligraphy laser-printed typeset font. Some people like the appearance of the computer-generated lettering since they may look tidy and consistent to their eyes. However, there is no feeling of personalization or artistic flair in them. You will surely cheapen the effect and even make an invitation look amateur-ish.

DIY kits should only be used by those who are already experienced at calligraphy. Amateurs or beginners should stay away from DIY kits, even if your main goal is to save money. The final output will never look like what you expect anyway. More than that, the lettering's appearance will not reflect well on the invitations or events.

You have to ask the professional to use the lettering style that properly complements the font that were used in the printed invitations. It would even be better if the professional personally creates the design and letter to the invitations entirely by hand. Their by-hand work makes the invitations so much better that way, after all.

A written estimate should be provided to you beforehand. The professional and you should talk about what the said project requires before you go ahead with any work. Through the discussion, the professional can make an estimate of how much the entire cost will be. Both parties should agree to the price before any work gets done to avoid future troubles.
