We love absolutely nothing more than receiving mail. In fact, we’d go so far as to say we’ve been known to stalk our mailman (or mail woman). And there is absolutely nothing better than when an invitation is handwritten.

So in honour of The Invitation Issue, we wanted to celebrate those who hallmark the very first step. Those amazing Australian artists who work tirelessly to hand letter and create the most beautiful invitation envelopes you ever did see. Harnessing their talents and skills, from classic copperplate calligraphy to modern brush letter, we’ve rounded up eleven Australian artists who can hand letter the most important piece of mail!

Lemon Tree Paper Co

We have long loved Lemon Tree Paper Co (we even hired Betsy’s steady hand for our tenth birthday place cards). Betsy has the magic touch of also being a watercolour artist, so she can complement your invitations with her very own custom paintings.

Teresa Ling

For classic, beautiful calligraphy, Teresa Ling is your girl. Teresa is a pro at calligraphy, and she offers up different styles – from the flowery “classic flourished” for that old school classic vibe, to her more modern “monoline” calligraphy style for all the elegance that’s a little more on-trend.
