I have a very talented friend but I know he is too busy so instead I'm calling upon my bro, a computer science major to help me use my puter to do it

Re: calligraphy

I'm paying somebody $2.85 per invitation (inner and outer envelopes) to do hand calligraphy. I just like the old-fashioned style

Re: calligraphy

I have 4 people on my budget vendor page - afineletter.com (they start at .25 en envelope), Reva Rothman, Carmela and Lori. The most is $1.50 per set and they're all great.

Good luck!

Re: calligraphy

I think a fine letter is really reasonable, but I'm afraid to mail my invitations to them....what if something happens???

This would make me nervous also. Maybe do them early so just incase anything happens you have time to get more? I am not worried about mine, b/c my friends who are doing it live in the same town as me.

Re: calligraphy

I just sent my save the dates to afineletter today. She recommends that you send it UPS which isn't that much more than the postal service. If you're really worried send them Fedex. I'm doing the penmanship and will let you know how it look when I get them back in about a week.
