Envelopes.
Dip pen & brush calligraphy envelope addressing match your invitations & personal style.
Calligraphy addressing let your guests know that the piece of mail they are about to open contains something special. Ranging from traditional dip pen to modern brush letters, I am ready to adorn your envelope in a way that speaks to your desire & preference. First, we’ll start with a style below & then we create an envelope design that works for you!
The Styles
Casual
Using modern calligraphy techniques, this casual style is slanted, with a little bit of bounce & minimal flourishing. The height difference between the capitals and the lower case letters can be adjusted to create a fun envelope.
Semi-Formal
Semi formal has a little pizazz. This style is sharper, slanted with slight bounce. The letters are a little closer together and capitals all enter in with a slight flair. There is a little room to play with the height.
FOrmal
Formal is more traditional. It has some heavier flourishing, no bounce and a set slant in the letters. There is a regular rhythm that gives a conservative feeling to an envelope.
brush
Brush lettering is the most modern offering. As an address is written, the brush runs out of ink so you get some subtle color changing across the envelope.
Handwriting
Sometimes, you just need someone else to address your envelopes and are okay with simple handwriting. This is the least expensive addressing option.
Ink
Ink color is one thing that can set your envleopes truly apart. It also does make a price difference. All pricing above all starts with black ink on a light colored envelopes. Metallic colors will add .25¢ per envelope. Dark or opaque envelopes with white ink will add .45¢ per envelope. Custom colors are $20 PLUS .25¢ per envelope.
The following choices don’t change pricing, but can make a sizable impact on how your final envelope looks. Check out some options and truly make the envelope what you want it to be!

FAQs
How do you want to receive the addresses?
I have some formatting instructions that I’ll send you. I want you to write address as close to I am writing them as possible to leave less room for errors.
Do you need extra envelopes?
Yes! Mistake happen. Spelling is hard and ink likes to spill. I need 20% more envelopes than I’ll be addressing. If you need help with ordering envelopes, I can assist with that too and price them for you.
How long will it take?
About a month. If you need envelopes under 4 weeks in advanced, I add a 40% rush fee. Shipping time may add to this timeline depending on where you live.
