Procedures

If you are interested in my services, please fill out the response form, and I will see if I have availability for your request.  I do not always have many openings, so I would put in your request as soon as possible.   Once I receive your completed form, this will act as your “reservation” for the job and I will add it to my calendar.  If for any reason you change your mind after that and will no longer need my services, please let me know right away as I can give that spot to someone else who may request it.

Once you have made a reservation with me, it is extremely important that I receive a sample of the envelope I will be working with.  If you pick out your invitations, the retailer should be able to supply you with a few samples, or they can have the manufacturer send you a few.  Some envelopes are too absorbent or grainy, and will greatly compromise the crispness of the calligraphy.  It is important for me to do a test with different nibs and inks to make sure this will not happen on your envelopes, and it also gives you the chance to have a preview of what your envelopes will look like!

I require a minimum of 15% extra envelopes as it is inevitable that you may need a few last minute additions or mistakes such as smudging and blotching may occur.

As an events planner, I understand the importance of timely communication.  I am best at correspondence via email and check my messages at least once a day.  You can also call me, but I can not always get back to you until the next day.

If you have 200 or less envelopes, I will need two weeks from the date I receive your materials until the day I send them back to you.  If you have more envelopes, I will need more time.  If you need a rushed job, my rates will go up depending on the timeframe you need. 

I am based out of the New York Tri-State area. Many of my clients have been from out-of-state, which is not a problem thanks to the many shipping options available.  Please contact me to discuss how to arrange drop off or shipping of your materials.

When I send the completed job back to you, I will use either the U.S. Post Office or FedEx depending on which you prefer. 

To begin the job, I will need to have received a 30% deposit of the total cost.  I only accept U.S. Post Office money orders or credit card payment via Paypal; sorry, no personal or cashier’s checks!  The final payment will be due upon receipt of the completed job.
