Custom Edible Calligraphy: Hand-Lettered Macaron Place Cards

Enter: Macaron place cards. As a luxury calligrapher, I'm always looking for ways to surprise guests. Macarons are a tablescape showstopper, but they require a delicate touch. Using professional, food-safe edible ink, we hand-letter each guest's name onto these fragile French treats. It’s the ultimate way to blend bespoke event signage with a sweet guest favor.

The Pros: * Accessible Luxury: Macarons are easy to source from our favorite Austin bakeries (might we recommend our fave, Edis Chocolates?).

  • Interactive Decor: It sparks immediate conversation at the table.

  • Zero Waste: No paper left behind—just happy, and sugar-high guests.

Whether you're planning an intimate Austin garden wedding or a large-scale corporate gala, we specialize in calligraphy that leaves a lasting impression.

Do you have a project that needs the Handsome Ink touch? Whether you’re local to ATX or planning from afar, we’ve gotchu. Did we also mention we love chocolate? (looking at you, Edis)
