CALLIGRAPHY & HAND LETTERING
We offer calligraphy and hand lettering—envelope addressing and supplementary artwork— for our stationery clients. To provide a wide array of writing styles, we collaborate with talented calligraphers and artists accomplished in both formal and modern (dip pen) calligraphy and brush lettering. The calligraphy shown above is by Jodean Cooper of Desert Plume Calligraphy.
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
The process for all projects begins with your inquiry form. We want to be sure your vision and our design aesthetic are an ideal fit! When completed, your inquiry form will also provide us with the necessary details to give you a tailored initial estimate.
engagement
Once the estimate looks good, you’ll review and sign our Artistic Services Agreement and pay a non-refundable retainer for 50% of the estimated cost of your stationery.
design
Next, we'll gather your wording and any details or content needed to begin. Once your first proof is presented, with your feedback, we'll refine the design and create the remaining pieces to align with it. Most invitation suites are finalized within 3-5 revision rounds. Collection designs using our Streamlined process have only 1 revision round.
production
When you’ve approved the final proof and paid your balance, production will begin. Your finished stationery will be carefully packed and shipped, with tracking information provided.
timing
Design typically takes 6–8 weeks, depending on complexity. Collection designs without modifications can often be completed in 4 weeks, and collection designs using our Streamlined process can be completed in 2–3 weeks.
Production takes a minimum of 4-6 weeks.
