Think calligraphy envelope addressing is only reserved for wedding invitations? Think again! Any mail you send can be elevated with beautiful, modern calligraphy. Except maybe bills…but hey, it’s not a bad idea!
Here are 4 ways to use calligraphy envelope addressing beyond wedding invitations.
Holiday Cards
As the calendar reaches December, we all know what’s coming - an influx of holiday cards! Holiday cards are a great way to spread holiday cheer, especially if you live far away from your loved ones. But, the holidays are stressful and the thought of hand addressing envelopes may seem daunting! Or perhaps the thought of figuring out how to print everyone’s addresses onto labels makes you run to the nearest wine bottle. Consider outsourcing that task to a calligrapher like me who can jazz up your holiday cards with gorgeous calligraphy and help you cross one thing off your to-do list! Silver or gold metallic ink on dark envelopes is a great look for the holiday season, especially when paired with wintery stamps.
Any Important Event or Party
Throwing a baby shower? Celebrating a graduation? Hosting an epic retirement party? If you are inviting people through mailed invitations, then calligraphy envelope addressing can be used to really show the importance of the event. This isn’t just some random dinner party, this is a special event and should be treated as such! Calligraphy can help show that to your guests before they even open their invite. They’ll see their name in calligraphy and know something special is coming!

Birthday Cards, Mother’s Day Cards, Father’s Day Cards, etc.
Like clockwork, the same events happen every year. Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day. If you live far away from loved ones that you mail cards to regularly, consider ordering a set of calligraphy addressed envelopes to last you all year! This will make your recipient feel extra special on their special day, because not only are you mailing them a card (yay mail!), but you also took the time to have a calligrapher hand address the envelope for them. This also saves you time because you know you have all the envelopes ready to go when the time comes!
Bridal Shower
Okay, so this one is still wedding related but hear me out. Maybe you are having a large wedding and can’t afford calligraphy envelope addressing for all of your guests. But calligraphy envelope addressing can still be perfect for a smaller event like a bridal shower! Thanks to a smaller guest list, this still adds class and elegance to your wedding, without having to break the bank.
These are just some examples of ways to incorporate calligraphy envelope addressing into your life - and your mail - outside of a wedding day. At the end of the day, if it’s going in the mail, it can have calligraphy on it! I’ve been known to address some bills with calligraphy just to keep things interesting ;)
