~~~~~Regarding Wedding Calligraphy~~~~~
I create hand lettered and illustrated invitations; address envelopes, place cards and escort cards; create custom wedding signage and table numbers. Have something unique in mind? Please contact me to discuss your ideas :)
- TIMING -
Thinking of your timing? Here is a suggested time line by many wedding planners in regards to addressing and mailing of invitations: Envelopes should be delivered to the calligrapher at least 3 months in advance of wedding. Invitations should be mailed 6 to 8 weeks in advance of wedding. Also, I always advise couples to have the post office hand cancel your stamps, as the machine can damage them!
For envelope addressing, place cards or seating cards:
Please send name and address information in a word document, saved as PDF.
- Please list names like this for place cards:
Mr. Frank Smith
- Please list names like this for escort cards:
Mr. Frank Smith
Table 1
- Please list addresses in this format for envelope addressing:
Mr. Frank Smith
1121 Elm Street
Winnipeg, Manitoba
V8Y W1W
(Please let me know if you have any questions about addressing etiquette.)
For Addressing work: Please provide around 15-20% additional materials as calligraphy is a "human process" that can sometimes have a slip of the pen nib! (For example, if 100 envelopes are being addressed, please send me around 120.)
