Calligrafied or calligraphed?

We are hearing more and more brides requesting their invitations and envelopes be “calligrafied,”  so we decided to set the record straight. Calligrafied is actually not a word. The correct usage of the word is calligraphed and is defined as “written or printed in calligraphy.” Calligraphy is a very artistic and elegant form of lettering encompassing a variety of  styles from traditional to modern. There are two main forms of calligraphy, hand and computer. Computer calligraphy allows for a quicker turn around and in most cases a lower cost without losing the look of hand calligraphy. Below are samples and proofs of computer calligraphy… Can you tell the difference?
