Initial Inquiry & Quote

Start by filling out this inquiry form with details about your project—what you need, quantities, deadlines, and any special requests. I’ll review your submission and follow up if I need more information. Once I have all the details, I’ll send you a detailed quote outlining pricing, scope, and the estimated timeline. If you have any adjustments or questions, we can discuss them at this stage.

Proposal & Deposit

If you're happy with the quote, I’ll send a formal proposal, including a short contract. This document will outline my policies, the project timeline, and payment options. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required before I begin work.

Style & Materials

Before I start on your project, we’ll refine the overall style and aesthetic. Once we’ve discussed your preferences, I’ll create 2–3 sample sheets with different style options based on our conversation. This ensures we’re aligned before moving forward.

Materials & Guestlist

If your project involves calligraphy on envelopes, place cards, or other materials, you’ll need to provide them. I require at least 15% extra to allow for human error, ink mishaps, and unforeseen issues. For more challenging materials—such as handmade or heavily textured paper—this may increase to 20%. All unused materials will be returned to you. If you need help selecting materials, I’m happy to recommend my preferred retailers and options.

At this time you’ll also provide your guest list or text, and I’ll share clear formatting instructions to ensure accuracy and consistency. If you’d like etiquette guidance, I’m happy to assist.

Final Payment & Delivery

Once the project is complete, I’ll send a final invoice for the remaining balance. After payment is received, I’ll arrange for shipping or a local pickup, depending on what works best for you.
