Besides saving you time spent fielding messages from guests asking for stray details, wedding invitations are rich in sentimental value—if made well, they can even serve as precious keepsakes for years to come.
But creating a memorable wedding invite goes beyond picking out a stunning typeface and a sophisticated template—what’s truly important is tailoring the design to the couple by adding personal touches reminiscent of their relationship. Here, Vogue rounds up the 6 best calligraphers and stationery designers in Singapore that can help you do just that.

Poptsie Paper Co.’s owner Trudy lends her beautiful, looping script to a range of bespoke wedding stationery as well as personalised wedding favours like crystal coasters gilded with your guests’ names.
