As someone who has addressed my fair share of envelopes (I offer hand lettering services through my etsy shop), I have learned a lot about this seemingly simple process.

I bought a couple archival pens and doodled. This is what I came up with. First things first, you need to find a good pen to use. You really don’t need the nicest handwriting in the world in order to do this. Make sure you use lots of loops and swirls, to make it look all pretty-like. Real calligraphy pens give different strokes with varying thicknesses. It can take some time to do a lot of letters in this way, but the outcome sure does look nice!
