Frequently Asked Questions
-
All calligraphy is handwritten in a formal, elegant style and is never computer generated! Paper is heavy and of very high quality. Additionally, many items are ribbon-embellished and come with attached, wide, double-faced satin ribbon that is tied in a bow. These special features add an unmatched elegance to your event.
-
Since all orders are customized, it is necessary to contact me directly first so we can discuss options, styles, colors, and pricing.
-
I can usually secure other ribbon colors without difficulty. Please be aware, however, that this will add a slightly longer processing time for your order to be completed.
-
You have a choice: I can provide envelopes at standard sizes for an additional fee, or you may ship me your own. If providing your own envelopes, please include 20% extra envelopes to allow for paper and/ or ink inconsistencies.
Paper varies widely and not all paper is suitable for calligraphy. If possible, I prefer to have a sample of your envelope beforehand to ensure a great outcome.
For orders of 50 or more envelopes, allow 4 weeks from the time I receive your envelopes and guest list. This does not include shipping time. Make sure to allow extra time for shipping!
A 50% deposit is required at the time of ordering. The balance is due upon completion of your order before it is shipped.

While I am able to provide other types of script, my specialty is in Copperplate calligraphy. This is a formal type of calligraphy with distinct patterns of design. Flourishes are also added to create this lovely, flowing style.

This will vary according to your order. Most orders ship within a week. However, for wedding or large events or for envelope addressing, the processing time will be longer. Since envelope work is very labor intensive, please allow 4 weeks plus shipping time before the date you will be mailing them to guests.
Please note that orders ship only after payment is received.
