If you are planning a wedding, the invitation is one of the most important pieces of mail you will ever send out. It is also the first glimpse of the wedding, and a keepsake many may treasure forever. You may want it to look a bit different than the machine-set ones sent out by thousands of brides before.

I will hand-letter the camera-ready master. In other words do the layout-design of your invitation which can be printed by the stationer of your choice, who also provides a selection of paper. You are free to choose any way of printing (engraving, letterpress, thermography, offset, etc.). The designs can be simple or elaborate. I design the reply card, address on the flap, or any other enclosures to match the invitation. The look is tied together when I address the envelopes in the same hand.

Looking at the samples you will notice that my signature style accentuates the names of the bride and groom, and adds some extra flourishing strokes. I usually provide my clients with several slightly different versions to determine the level of detail he or she wants.
