What is the best choice for a I am hand-addressing wedding
invitations and would like to
use a calligraphy pen to do
that. I tried out some ink
pens today and found they were
too wide. A friend suggested
calligraphy fountain pens
instead. I don't know anything
about them and would like more
information. Keeping in mind
that I'm a total beginner with
calligraphy, here are some of
my questions:
- Which one should I try?
(specific brand and model)
- How is a calligraphy
fountain pen similar or
different from a regular
fountain pen? Can I just use a
fountain pen that I already
own?
- Good online resources for
buying calligraphy fountain
pens?
- Other good calligraphy
resources for beginners?

Try visiting a good Stationery store in your area. Most carry a good line of materials. You may not want to invest too heavily ($$$) if you are only doing a single project. Since you already own a fountain pen, you may only need to buy a new nib (if yours is replaceable). The only difference between a standard fountain pen and one used for calligraphy is the nib. A standard writing pen has a very fine point, where calligraphy requires a wider tip. Think of the difference between a ball-point and a highlighter. I have used everything from the old quill pen & ink to reservoir fountain pens with various nibs to disposable calligraphy pens with equal success. For modern papers, I actually prefer the less expensive ones. The ink will bleed through most paper if you use the old "dip" inkwell, or even most fountain pens. And remember, it's important that you always hold the nib in one position (don't let the pen roll in your hand) to get the gradient line widths that make calligraphy so beautiful! |

What are some classy I am getting married next May
and the budget is tight. I
know traditionally people have
calligraphy for the addresses
on their wedding invitations,
but I am trying to save money
and wondered if anyone had
seen any nice looking wedding
invites without calligraphy?
