Guidelines and Templates 

Calendar & Timelines

Once we finalize dates and your requirements,  I will forward agreement details to you and include a customized timeline.

Your timeline will include dates for all calligraphy activities ~ shipping, templates, guests lists, proofing, delivery, etc.



Guests Lists Templates

The templates below include examples and directions for you to add your guests names and addresses.   
(Templates are also available on the knot's website.)    

Important:  Names and addresses should be entered exactly as you want them, for both outer and inner envelopes.  

Once your list is complete, please send it as an email attachment.

Number of Envelopes

Please include 5% more envelopes than the number planned for your mailing.   Why?
Hand lettering is an art, valued for the personal touch;     guests lists may require corrections  . . . spelling, title changes, zip codes;  and ink splatters can happen!)

Changes and Additions

Additions and changes received BEFORE lettering preparation begins will incur NO additional charge. 

Embellishments (ribbons, etc.)

Because lettering requires a writing surface flat and free of embellishments, 
if you are embellishing your envelopes or paper, please plan this for after lettering is completed and delivered to you.

If you provide a template envelope showing the embellished area, I will not letter in that area.

Shipping

Cost of shipping will be included in final invoice,  unless we have agreed upon another arrangement.  
​
I have door to door shipping arrangements and post office addresses at each of my locations.


Payment Schedule

  • one-third, to accompany envelopes and papers delivered;     
  • one-third, on a date half-way between delivery & completion; 
  • one-third, on the completion/return date.
