Envelopes

Some paper requires additional preparation of the surface to get it ready to receive ink and may incur an additional fee per set.  Please provide an additional 15 envelopes per every 100 to allow for testing of surface and for my mistakes, your corrections, and last minute additions to your list.  Pens will occasionally ‘snag’ on a fiber in the paper and ruin an envelope.  Although I take great care in execution of names and addresses, I am human and I do make mistakes!

Occasionally I have come across a paper that simply will not take pen and ink.  In that event, a regular writing instrument will be used, resulting in a monoline hand.  Please check with your printer/stationer re: suitability for hand lettering before ordering your envelopes.

Turn-around time is normally 100 envelopes per week.  I will schedule a window of time for your wedding/project, so it is important that you have your envelopes ready to go for the agreed upon time frame.  Please don’t forget to factor in any shipping/mailing time as you make your plans.

All envelopes will be proof-read four times before delivery:  twice by me and twice by proofreaders.  If you should find a mistake, I will re-do any errors immediately at no cost to you.  If you discover an error in the list you provided and need a re-do, I will re-do at the original agreed upon cost per set.

I allow for a one-time batch of additions to the list after delivery.  After that, ‘just one mores’ will be billed at the original fee plus $2.  This is because I have likely moved on to the next job and a return to your original set-up is required.

Invitation Address List

Please submit your list as a Microsoft Word or Excel document.  I will read through your list carefully before beginning work and will make color coded notations to alert myself to unusual spellings, extra long lines, incomplete addresses, etc., so please submit your list in black only, 12 pt. Arial.
