Is there a caligraphy chart showing upper and lower case letters anywhere on the internet? I need "wedding invitation" style references...thanks in advance if anyone can help!

all the links you could want, here...
But, as a calligrapher, and a calligraphy teacher, can I make a suggestion? You'd do a lot better if you went to a library and checked out a book. On-line sources do not tell you the height and width of a letter, nor do they show you the correct angle of the nib, number of strokes to construct a letter, spacing between letters, word and lines, or the placement of the initial stroke...all essential elements for calligraphy.
Wonderful that you are doing it yourself. Make sure you have a fair quality pen, and that you use a guide...otherwise, its going to be a mess for you.
Congrats, and good luck in your search....

Take a look at this page. It has some samples.
Or for a bette example - even shows the direction of the strokes - go to the second one.

If you have microsoft word look for it in there or look something close to it. I do a lot of calligraphy and I have honestly never heard of wedding invitation style.

I think your best bet is to go to an art supply store and get a book with your supplies.
