Hire a calligrapher to write out all of your place cards so they look like Cinderella's might have at the royal ball.
Allow an extra week or two if you are using a calligrapher.
Hand address them (setting aside time to do so), hire a calligrapher, or find a stationer that can print custom designed labels for you.
If none of those options pan out, look for a local calligrapher who might be interested in giving you a few lessons or starting a small group class.
