I specialize in addressing wedding invitations by hand in calligraphy;
also consider this beautiful finishing touch for your other special occasions, such as rehearsal dinners,
anniversary celebrations, and graduations, to name a few; I also letter placecards,
reserved table cards, and large matted name signs to be framed and displayed beside the reception entrance.

Below are samples of envelopes I have addressed that show the scripts that are most popular for addressing:
Classic Italic, Copperplate (capitals vary somewhat from style to style...I can simulate many different styles), Uncial and Old English (Gothic).
The Copperplate flourishes may vary to coordinate with the font of your wedding invitation.

My calligraphy services also include custom-designed wedding, anniversary, graduation,or birthday invitations
(Click here
for samples and prices.)(I design and letter one and have the rest printed from that).

A packet of information and samples of my lettering is available for $5.00, applicable to your charges if you place an order.
You may order through www.paypal.com or by snail mail check.
Please include your address, your wedding date and what lettering scripts
interest you. If you would like for me to contact you by phone, please include
your phone number. I would also be interested in your comments
and would be happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.

All samples shown on this website were hand-written.

*Note: Heavily lined envelopes will incur an additional cost of $0.50 per lined envelope.*

Prices may be affected by type of paper; for example, hand-made paper will often cost a bit more due to the fibrous nature of the paper causing the calligraphy process to be more time-consuming. These will be considered and priced on an individual basis. If the paper is not more difficult to work on, the price will be the same as above.

PLEASE NOTE: I require 50% down payment at the time you ship your order to me.
If this poses a problem, please discuss it with me and I will be glad to work with you.
These prices do not include shipping and handling. If you wish to charge your order or use a debit card,
you may register at www.paypal.com and make payment directly to me via email: () after I price your order for you.
When I complete your order, I will email you a copy of the invoice for the remainder of the payment.
I also accept checks or money orders.
I customarily will scan some of the envelopes as I begin to address them; then I will e-mail them to you for your approval.

Often I can match the font used on your invitations, but this is more time-consuming and may cost a bit more.
These requests will be considered and priced on an individual basis.

Important things to know:

1. Wedding invitations should ideally be mailed 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding.
2. Please allow 4 days plus shipping time for one hundred invitation sets done in Classic Italic. Old English or Copperplate scripts take longer; please allow 6-8 days for each 100 sets.
3. For outer envelope addresses, please submit a clear, typed list with complete names and addresses.
4. If inner envelopes are included, please indicate how you want these addressed. I always double check to be sure I have addressed each envelope correctly according to my clients' lists.
5. Please be sure that you have typed your names and addresses correctly, and include proper titles: Miss, Ms., Mrs., Mr., Dr., The Reverend, etc. I cannot be responsible for errors from mistyped lists, although I will do my best to correct obvious errors, such as in zip codes.

6. Please specify the lettering style and ink color that you prefer. If your return address is printed in colored ink, in my opinion the front address looks best if done in a matching color.
7. For an additional $0.35 per invitation, I will stuff, stamp and seal them. (You provide the stamps.)
8. Please allow 3-4 days for shipping the envelopes back to you.
