What is the going rate for a calligrapher?

What did you pay your calligrapher? Mine did 100 invitations and is a friend of the family, so she is not formally charging me but I'd like to pay her. what is a normal amount?

I used a vendor on LIW and she did computer calligraphy on the inside and outside envelopes and she charged me $2 each set. Hope this helps.

I used Joann Insinga from Fine Calligraphy and paid $1 per line. So it was anywhere from $3-$5 per envelope.

I got lucky - one of my dads many girlfriends is a calligrapher so she is doing them for nothing. Who knew that my dad playing the field would work in my favor?

LOL, that's awesome! All type in Plainview is .25 inner (black or custom ink), .90 outer for black ink, .95 outer for custom color ink. It's computer calligraphy, but it came out really pretty on my sisters....turn around time is 2 weeks...fm me if you want the #, but I am pretty sure that they are a vendor on here.
