Details
General:
Please include an additional 15% of all items to be hand-addressed. This will ensure that you receive a beautiful end product from me. Most stationery stores include extra envelopes for free, but you must ask for them.
I use water-based black ink (non-waterproof) for the Formal Italics style. Some envelopes are not suitable for water-based ink. It would be in your best interest to ask your invitation vendor if the envelopes you purchase will readily accept water-based ink. I use an ultra-fine tipped permanent (waterproof) pen for my Freehand Cursive and Freehand Print styles.
Please note that I will not make any etiquette or grammatical changes to your address/name list. It is your list and in your choice of style, and I will scribe your project as dictated by your address list. There are many online resources regarding stationery etiquette. Try Crane's Online Wedding Blue Book for addressing envelopes.
Address/Name List:
Please use the following
typewritten format - 12 points or larger, Arial or Times Roman
