Let me preface the joy of receiving our envelopes from oh-so-fab calligrapher, Michele Clark that collecting addresses is near impossible! I’m not joking. I think 25 addresses changed between sending our save the dates in March and now. Stop moving people!

The envelopes are absolutely beautiful. I think Mr. Coconut was a bit skeptical about paying someone to address our envelopes. Yes, he was totally convinced this was Item No. 254 “unnecessary expense” that contributed to our busted budget. However, when I opened the box this week like the first gift on Christmas morning, there was a glee in his eyes, too! He will never admit it, but he was impressed.

Michele is seriously awesome. She flowed with the aforementioned 25 address edits, and made her wispy style slightly more “wispy.” I had to cut off the addresses, but here’s a sneak peak. I promise to show you more when I reveal our invitations!

Here are the inner envelopes. For our close friends, we scrapped etiquette and used their nicknames. However, for family and distance friends, we stuck to tradition. (Ugh, tradition.)

Who else found calligraphy to be an unnecessary, yet beautiful expense?!
