Caligraphy help!

So I wasn't planning on doing caligraphy but I just found out they can't digitally print on my pocket fold invitations...and it's a silver pocket fold so I just don't think a clear label will look good. Does anyone know of an affordable caligrapher that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (less then $2 per outter envelope) and who would be available?

No one? how is everyone else addressing their pocket folds if they have them?

My wedding planner (aka mom) is learning calligraphy to do my envelopes. Hopefully.

Just Announce It in Oceanside (also a LIW vendor) did computer calligraphy for me for $1.25 per outer envelope- I think it was 50 cents more per envelope if it was done by hand- FM me if you want their information.

FYI, most pocketfold invitations are not designed to be mailers. They are designed to go into a mailing envelope, which then can be addressed via digital calligraphy.

No one can digitally address a pocketfold invitation, they just don't fit into a printer.

If you are getting quotes for hand calligraphy, be sure to mention that its a metallic pocketfold and not an envelope ... your prices may be drastically different b/c it is much harder for a calligrapher to work with.

If you love the invitation, you may be able to find envelopes for the pocketfold ....

My friend Rachel loved her calligrapher and I think she was cheap!!! I'll get details from her tomorrow and send them to you I think it was $1 per envelope (or less)...

No not this size...the standard is 6 3/8 x 6 3/8 min is 6 1/4 so the envelope would be too big
