Engraved Wedding Invitations with Hand Calligraphy

Josie and Harris worked with our dear friend Mickey from The Social Type to create these absolutely lovely invitations. Engraving, hand calligraphy, and silk ribbon, along with a charming die-cut details card, all work beautifully together to elevate the look of this suite.

Hand calligraphy in the Opulent style by Debi Zeinert ensures the invitation stands out. The flowing calligraphy was done specifically for this stationery suite, with each card including at least a couple of lines. The use of calligraphy throughout the suite ties all the pieces together from a design standpoint while adding a touch of extravagance to each card.

The invitation features engraving, a classic printing method that creates a raised impression. That raised impression really stands out on our luxuriously thick 3-ply paper. This printing method also emphasizes the swirls and flourishes of the hand calligraphy.

Clover edge painting gives the invite an extra and unexpected pop of color. The mother-of-pearl silk ribbon tied in a generous bow adds a romantic, almost gift-like presentation. It’s tactile and traditional, signaling formality and intention.
The delicate floral and bird illustrations on the welcome party card introduce a subtle charm that sets the tone for this springtime wedding.
