Recently Increasing Calligraphy Place Cards *
At weddings, it's now trendy for place cards to be written in English rather than Japanese for guest names *
It's common to see modern place cards made from materials like resin, ceramic tiles, mirrors, acrylic keychains, and agate, and of course, they're written in English.
There are even brides who are choosing to write guest names in English on traditional folded paper place cards.
Especially popular is the flowing and beautiful calligraphy style.
Just having names written in calligraphy makes the place cards look stylish and contemporary ♡
Changing the font for the last name and first name is also chic
For brides considering calligraphy place cards, there's something I hope you'll think about before making a handmade or custom order purchase!
That is the idea of "changing the font for the last name and first name individually" **
(Like this)
Instead of unifying the last name and first name with the same font, using different styles can create a charming imbalance ♡
First name in calligraphy, last name in thin font is mainstream
The first name should be in calligraphy to stand out ♡
The last name, on the other hand, should be in a smaller, clean, and simple thin font ♡
This way, it results in the most stylish and readable place cards, making them easily recognizable *
