“Cocktail Casual” calligraphy is a free-spirited, artistic calligraphy style that I developed last year to quickly make personalized envelopes for thank you cards. I was pressed for time, but still wanted to make my envelopes beautiful! I used letters with flourishes, added long tails, and disregarded spacing and size rules. This worksheet will help you learn how to make your own Cocktail Casual calligraphy! It features:

20+ pages of alphabet, number, and word practice
Alphabet exemplar
Address practice
~8 minute long video explaining how to use a dip pen to create Cocktail Casual calligraphy
Immediate + unlimited access to worksheet file after checkout

Description

I recommend creating Cocktail Casual calligraphy with your favorite pen and nib combination. If you’re right-handed, you’ll probably do best with a right oblique pen! I love to make this calligraphy style with a nice, thin ink like India ink or iron gall ink (Walker’s Copperplate in the UK or Blots in the US are both awesome).

Please note that, unlike other calligraphy styles, Cocktail Casual calligraphy doesn’t have a specific formula to it. Think of all of the letters in this worksheet set as suggestions. As you get more comfortable writing the letters in the worksheet, try varying their formations! Add an extra flourish here or a super long cross stroke there. I encourage you to make this style your own!

Finally, try to avoid using pencil guidelines when you write using this style. Words will look best without a consistent baseline — I promise. Not having to use pencil guidelines means that this calligraphy style is very quick to create!
