frequently asked questions

Is it possible to have metallic ink or a custom color ink for my project?

Not a problem! These can be provided for an additional $15 per project. In order to color match, you must provide a color sample (fabric, paint chip, piece of paper - I can make it happen!).

How long will it take for you to complete my order?

Projects usually take 1-2 weeks to finish once guest lists and paper have been received. Once you have booked your project with me (earlier is always better!) I will send a Google Doc for you to complete with your guest’s information. Please enter all information exactly as you would like it to be written.

How many envelopes/place cards do I need to provide?

Due to the nature of a hand-crafted project, accidents always happen, whether it be spilled coffee or mispelling a name. Please provide 20% extra to account for any errors. If by chance you have any additions or changes to your list, this excess in paper should cover these adjustments as well.

Is it possible to have my order rushed?

Depending on how quickly your project needs to be completed and other projects already booked, it may be possible. Rush fees are an additional 30%.

Do you take on commission pieces?

Definitely. Wedding vows, custom canvases, and signs are all options. Prices will vary greatly on materials used and size of the project. I would love to hear from you to discuss creating a custom piece of artwork.

Can I provide my own signs for you to letter?

Absolutely! You can provide one or all of the pieces for me to letter.

How long is the rental period for signs?

Signs may be picked up two days prior to your event and should be returned within two days after. Delivery/pickup can be arranged for an additional mileage cost.

Can you do on-site lettering at an event space?

Most likely, yes! Depending on their hours, my schedule, and the amount of work needed to be completed, on-site work is a definite option.

Can my items be delivered?

If you live in the Kansas City Metro, delivery is possible with a mileage cost.

Can I pick up my envelopes to save on postage?

If you live in the Kansas City area, this can be arranged based upon schedules.

Do you make custom invitation suites?

Not at this time, however I am able to provide digitized spot calligraphy for you. Please inquire for prices.

What is the difference between escort cards and place cards?

Escort cards traditionally tell the guest what table at which they will be seated, where as a place card is on the table designating a specific seat.

Not all jobs are created equal.

Please remember all calligraphy is done by hand and there will always a natural variation in product.
