Brides, we’re all for DIY wedding details. One-of-a-kind bridesmaid gifts, homemade cakes and handmade favors are all great ways to save some serious coin, and add personalized touches to your big day.

That said, we also offer this piece of advice: not everything can or should be DIYed. Case in point: calligraphy.

You’ve probably seen videos on Instagram of expert calligraphers seemingly effortlessly turn out dozens of stunning place cards, or a “foolproof” tutorial for a gorgeous hand lettered font. Trust us when we say that calligraphy is absolutely not as easy as it looks, and when it comes to weddings especially, it’s a task best left to the experts.

Whether you’re looking for breathtaking, one-of-a-kind wedding invites or oh-so fancy escort cards, these eight Etsy shops are perfect for all of your wedding calligraphy needs.
