Most of the weekend was spent with this book propped open on my lap in front of the computer - The Crane Blue Book of Stationary (online version available at crane.com). It is by far the most useful book when trying to figure out how to address envelopes to wedding guests. It is the absolute best book for that kind of thing - blows Emily Post's wedding etiquette book out of the water when it comes to stationary. Seriously.

Better than Emily Post?! My dad used to pull her out whenever we had bad manners while eating. He conveniently ignored the rule of not reading at the dinner table.
ReplyDeleteBut coming from a family of calligraphers, I definitely appreciate the complexity of addressing!
