Calligraphy on envelopes - is it really expensive?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Is calligraphy expensive? This is a question that often arises when we think about the beauty and complexity of this timeless art form. And the answer is not as simple as one might think. Calligraphy, with its charming strokes and precisely crafted letterforms, holds a special place in the hearts of many. But its true value goes beyond aesthetics. Let's explore together why calligraphy is not cheap?<\/p>\n

Is it ordinary writing or art?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Calligraphy is the art of beautiful writing.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> But sometimes it wasn't art. It was something ordinary. Of course, not all people were literate. Literacy was somehow reserved for scholars. But it was the only way of communicating in writing. Calligraphy was used to write down official documents and biblical texts. Even today, we should value this privilege very much. Everywhere in the world, children are already deprived of the opportunity to learn to write.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, calligraphy is an admirable skill that requires long-term learning and dedication. This is almost impossible to achieve in this day and age, when we expect an immediate response or reward for everything we do. \"superpower\".<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Learning calligraphy requires quite a bit of perseverance, dedication, almost stubborn heartedness.<\/strong> Progress is slow, sometimes almost invisible. At this point, many give up. But with persistence, the reward is guaranteed. If we persevere with calligraphy, we reap many benefits:<\/p>\n

Learning calligraphy requires a lot of practice. It is useful to practise the basic strokes before moving on to learning the full strokes. It pays to be progressive.<\/p><\/div>\n

Developing your own calligraphic style separates you from a world dominated by digital communication. Your handwritten notes, invitations or even social media posts will stand out with a touch of sophistication and elegance.<\/p>\n

Calligraphed titles. But is there anything better than invitations?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Beautiful invitations invite special people, to experiences that we want to share with our loved ones and preserve in special memories. A wedding, a christening, a birthday celebration or something similar and so important. Our life milestones deserve the best, of course. We have special clothes for the day, a beautiful venue, musicians, the most beautiful decoration possible, gorgeous flowers and we want to immortalise it all so we hire a photographer. And why not make our invitations and other printed materials just as special?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even if the invitations are printed, it's nice and sometimes etiquette to have handwritten addresses on the envelopes, but it's even nicer if they're handwritten on the envelopes.\u00a0with real calligraphy. <\/strong>But the price for a single envelope with a calligraphed address may seem high.<\/p>\n

How much does calligraphy on envelopes cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a calligrapher, I am convinced that the prices are affordable. In my online shop current price EUR 6,90.<\/strong> This price also includes a high quality envelope, one that can be written on with a calligraphy pen without spilling ink. At the moment, quality envelopes of this kind are priced at Avon between EUR 1 and EUR 1,50. Of course, I can also write on envelopes provided by the customer. Well, let's look at the matter in a little more detail.<\/p>\n

Calligraphed address for the invitation.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Slovenia, invitations are mostly hand-delivered. Imagine my disappointed look when I design your wedding invitations or round birthday party invitations and then you tell me you would just like envelopes without addresses. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am when I cannot explain to you what an occasion you are missing. You're missing the \"wow\" effect, <\/strong>that I feel when I put a calligraphy in someone's hands or when they receive it in the mail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My disappointment is mainly because I know that you are missing the opportunity to appreciate the art of calligraphy and the special enthusiasm of your loved ones, who would tell you that they have never received such a wonderful invitation.<\/p>\n

The reaction when they receive a beautiful calligraphy envelope:<\/p>\n
