Price List - Hand Calligraphy

Policies for Hand Calligraphy Services

• The minimum charge for any hand calligraphy job is $45.
   
• All calligraphy services are subject to sales tax (for Texas residents only).
   
• After an envelope job is completed and delivered, and you request additional envelopes to be addressed afterward, there will be a $15 set up fee for each additional batch of envelopes to be addressed, even if there is only one envelope in a batch. Therefore, please provide the changes/additions to us all at one time, if possible, rather than a few at a time.
   
• Clients must provide at least 10% extra items, with a minimum of 10 extra items (envelopes, place cards, table sign paper). For metallic-coated papers, please provide 15% extra items.
   
• Clients are responsible for any delivery or shipping charges.

This service includes creating the artwork for all the pieces of the invitation. It does not include printing services or writing out the invitations by hand.

We will provide you the artwork in electronic format and email it to your favorite printer or stationer for printing.

The price does not include additional embellishments such as monograms or other ornamentation. Please request a quote for additional items.

The cost includes 3 revisions to the design. In other words, you will have 3 opportunities to make changes after the initial draft. Additional revisions after 3 (i.e., beginning with the 4th draft) will be billed at a minimum of $50.00 per revision.

After final delivery of the design, any requested changes will be billed at $75.00 per revision. This applies even if no revisions to the design were requested prior to final delivery.
