Helpful Tid Bits:
Understanding a little about calligraphy is helpful. When writing in calligraphy a lot of concentration goes into the letter formation of each INDIVIDUAL letter.
*Print and Handwriting styles do not take as long as Italic and Pointed Pen Styles
Calligraphy is a very time consuming process that is well worth every minute put into it for your wedding. Each piece is a "one of a kind" piece of art.

Calligraphy is achieved by dipping the "pen in ink"
This process is very time consuming but well worth it.
If you are even considering handwritten calligraphy, contact Rachel as early as you can in the beginning to discuss your Wedding Date, Services that you are requesting, pricing, turn around time, and VERY IMPORTANT to check for availability for services.
TIMING is probably one of the most important things to have to pay attention to. Especially with weddings. Everything is on a schedule. ANYONE WHO'S TIME IS LIMITED
Should you find that your lagging behind "just a little" you will more than like pull your hair out before long.....Ok so that may not have been the most re-assuring....but it wasn't supposed to be. The sooner that you knock certain things out the smoother life will be that you, friends, and/or family get finished
THOUGH YOUR INVITATIONS MIGHT BE THE LAST THING ON YOUR MIND IN THE BEGINNING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION BEFORE IT IS TIME TO ADDRESS YOUR INVITATIONS.
ESPECIALLY if your wedding is during the peak wedding season it is important to check schedule early to ensure that you are able to get the dates you need.
***Quality will not be exchanged for speed. Rachel delivers a Quality Service, taking great pride in her work.
**Guest Lists should be typed EXACTLY the way that you want it to appear. There are many online sources that provide etiquette for weddings both formal and informal. If you have questions about etiquette DO NOT HESITATE to ask. (by email or phone; whatever you feel you need is the best way to go.
**It is best to provide the entire guest list at once and in alphabetical order if you have a large group and/or you are having place cards/table numbers or signs done calligraphed. If you are typing your list on a computer it should put all the names in alphabetical order automatically. This helps with seating, additions, and changes.
