    Please fill out the contact form to start the process of securing your spot in my calendar. After this, I will reach back out via email to confirm a few more details and provide availability and a custom quote.

    *LETTER OF AGREEMENT & DEPOSIT*
    Once you approve the quote, we will discuss dates of when items are due. After we have set an agreed date, I will send you a letter of agreement to review and return along with a 50% non-refundable deposit via credit card.

    The date agreed upon is the date your envelopes and/or items are due in hand. Please be sure to include an extra 20% of all items (i.e. 100 envelopes would be require an extra 20) to account for ink splatter or human error that can come with hand-written work. Remember that delivery timelines for shipping companies vary and allow for this. An Excel document will be emailed to you for your guest list; this is the only format guest lists will be accepted. I am happy to provide an addressing etiquette guide you can follow if you would like. This list will need to be completely reviewed for spelling and grammatical errors as I will write your list the way it is provided. If you have any questions about your list, please ask prior to submitting.

Once your order is completed, I will send you the final invoice via email and we can set a date for return. All calligraphy shipments are sent via UPS Ground however can be upgraded to next day or 2nd day shipping methods.
