There is no substitute for a beautifully hand-written invitation. Computers do a nice job... but going that one step further and having them addressed by hand says that the recipient is worthy of the time and effort that may take. Invited guests already feel welcomed and special the minute they see the envelope in the mailbox.
I have provided calligraphy addressing services for the past 15 years and am a member of the Washington Calligrapher’s Guild.
For weddings and special occasions, the most requested style is the formal italic alphabet.
I am happy to provide this service as I feel that, in a small way, I am contributing to the overall success and atmosphere of the event. Please let me know of any way I can help to make your event go smoothly.
