Is calligraphy a must for addressing engraved envelopes?
For the pure traditionalist, calligraphy is a must. However, as times and styles change other alternatives, such as computer calligraphy are increasingly acceptable. The most important rule of thumb is that the handwriting be bold and self-confident. Never use a ballpoint pen for addressing, but rather a good, felt nibbed pen that will render a strong appearance and a boldness of declaration. Never use printed labels for such a significant occasion.
