Weddings & Events

        Creating the first impression...When the address on an envelope or the name on a place card is exquisitely written in calligraphy, a message of distinction, personal attention, and significance is given, setting your event apart from the rest.

        Creating a lasting impression...Hand lettered calligraphy surpasses the limitations of computer technology by providing a personal touch that breathes life into the written word.  Calligraphy lends visual beauty to your message and reflects the unique style of any event, making the smallest details unforgettable.

        The possibilities are endless, but here are a few suggestions where calligraphy makes a beautiful impression:
  •    Wedding Stationery...announcements; Save-the-Date cards; invitations; envelopes; programs; "day of" stationery including favors,
  •     place cards, escort cards, menus, table numbers, and seating charts; personalized thank you cards and monograms
  •     Personalized gifts...such as handwritten wedding vows and blessings
  •     Corporate events...packaging, invitations & envelopes, day-of-event stationery
       
Please contact me by email with your request.  A complimentary consultation will be scheduled to discuss your needs and provide you with an accurate estimate.

​Ordering Guidelines

***Please schedule your calligraphy services as soon as possible when planning your event.  A minimum of two weeks is needed for envelope addressing and other clients may be scheduled ahead of your request.

  • An additional 10% quantity of envelopes is required.
  • For accurate and timely service, please provide your address list in a Word document format (no Excel spreadsheets please!), in a basic font, such as Arial, and typed exactly as you wish the names and addresses to appear with proper titles (Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr. or Doctor, etc).
  • If envelope sets are ordered (inner and outer envelope addressing), please provide your address list in a two column format—for example:
                Outer Envelope                                                     Inner Envelope
        Mr. and Mrs. William R. Kenyon                         Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon
        207 Anzavista Drive
        San Francisco, CA  94115           

  • All State names will be spelled in full (Washington vs. WA) unless you specify otherwise.
  • Zip codes are written on a separate line unless space is limited.
  • Please carefully proofread all information; list errors or incomplete addresses result in delayed service.  Obvious list errors may be caught and brought to your attention before work proceeds.  However, this is done as a courtesy and is not the responsibility of Pilgrim's Quill Studio.  Envelopes requiring                         re-addressing due to list errors will be charged to the client.
  • All envelopes will be proofed for accuracy upon completion and sorted by the provided address list.
