How To Commission A Calligrapher For Your Project

By Iva Cannon


Invites are important parchments when it comes to special events like birthday parties, anniversaries, and weddings. The said papers are sent to expected guests to let them know about the event. This is the paper that will inform the guests of the time and date as well as the venue of the special event that you are celebrating.

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.

Hiring a writing expert is definitely a nice idea you can take advantage of. This is particularly true when you are in need of special effects as well as designs on the invites. Through the work of the writing expert, you can reach out to guests in a personalized way. The writing expert is definitely the best at this job.

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.

The first tip that you should remember is that you have to hire a seasoned professional. The seasoned professional should already have years of experience under his or her belt. The said professional should be capable of showing you a portfolio of samples demonstrating his or her capability to write with a variety of lettering styles.

Pseudo-calligraphy laser-printed typeset fonts should be avoided at all cost. While it may be a good way for you to have a tidy and consistent font to use, the computer-generated letters do not really have that personalization vibe or even artistic flair to them. It can even cheapen the effect or make it look amateur-ish.

There may be DIY kits available in the market these days. However, these DIY kits should only be used by those who are already experienced with calligraphy. The amateurs and beginners should not use this because they can just make the appearance of your lettering look ugly. It will not reflect properly on your invites or event.

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.

There should be a written estimate given to you when you are asking this writing expert to write for you. Sit down with this writing expert and discuss about what the whole project needs. Once you are done, this writing expert should give you the written estimate. Get this written estimate before you have any work done for you.
