Tips To Properly Commission A Calligrapher For A Writing Project

By Iva Cannon


Invitations to weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, celebrations, and many other special events exist to help expected guests know about it. These are the documents that will let guests know about when the said event is to be held as well as where it will be hosted. These will ensure that guests can attend as well.

A simple invitation should be enough when you want to let the guests know about the event. However, you might want to consider using special effects or designs on it to boost attendance. In this case, you might want to consider using calligraphy then. You should consider how to commission a calligrapher if you want to use calligraphy.

It should be a good idea to hire an expert to do your stationery. This way, you can reach out to all guests you expect to come in a more personalized way. You can also share the happiness better when the invitations look like special invites. It should be worth the money to hire this professional for the job.

The commissioning of the writing expert should be done with great care. You should not just pick anyone to work for you in this writing project. You have to find the one who can do a perfect job, after all. In that case, then you should follow some tips regarding that matter. Here are the simple tips you can take advantage of then.

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.

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.

The professionals should always use a lettering style properly complementing the fonts used in your printed invitations. However, you should try to ask this professional to personally create lettering to the invites entirely by hand. Their work will actually make the invitation look way better when they do that. It will also show more flair when you get the professional to do it.

Do not forget to ask for a written estimate. You have to talk with the professional first about what the entire project requires. After that, a professional can draft an estimate on how much it will cost to carry out that project. Only when you come to an agreement regarding the price should you decide whether or not to hire this professional for this job.
