Calligraphy is an ancient but personal art form. Its beauty comes not only from the elegance of the letters but from the heart of the artist, as he or she brings the words to life on paper. For that reason, every piece you commission is hand-lettered by Sue personally, including invitations, envelopes, placecards and escort cards, and original artwork.

 Envelopes
Envelope pricing is calculated by the line. Most wedding invitation envelopes have three address lines on the outside plus one line on the inside, for a total of 4 lines. Apartment numbers go on their own line unless you ask for the more casual shortcut (i.e., #305).
Pricing for Standard Envelopes
$1.00 per line
A standard 2-envelope wedding invitation set with 4 lines,
totals $4.00 per set. (4 x 1.00 )
Additional Charges:
- Opaque lined envelopes (View example): 50% extra
- A special finish that would make lettering complicated
(such as moiré paper or a glossy finish that resists ink): 50% extra
- Colored ink. Sue custom mixes paint to your specifications: 50% extra
- Gold or silver ink: 100% extra
- Centering each line: $2.50 per line
Discounts:
Sue offers two different kinds of handwriting at half
the price
since they take half the time. These are 50¢ per line.
