Remember that your invitations need to be in the mail 6 – 8 weeks prior to the wedding. The Calligrapher needs to be working on your envelopes at least 10 weeks out. This way, any errors or additions can be taken care of before your mailing deadline and you and your artist are not stressed to get them out. This being said, start making inquiries with Calligraphers 5 – 6 months before the wedding. Waiting until your invitations come back from the printer to call and schedule Calligraphy is not always wise. Remember each piece is done by hand and takes time. If you have waited too long to book your artist, you may be out of luck.
This can vary from artist to artist so be sure and ask this question so there is not a misunderstanding on when your project will be complete. Some Calligraphers don’t really “schedule” a job. They just put your order next in line and work on each project as a first come, first served basis. So you could be waiting up to 2 weeks or more to have your project completed. Other artists actually book a date on their calendar and are able to return it in a few days. In both cases, the earlier you book, the better. When scheduling your wedding, make sure you let your artist know what type of envelopes you have.
These things will affect how long your project will take as well as the cost. All of these should be talked about as you are booking your wedding. If you do not know this information when you book your wedding, let your Calligrapher know when your decisions are finalized so they can make adjustments to their schedule.
First of all, your list is required to be typed. Once you become a Calligraphy by Cami client, documents will be sent to you concerning the proper ettiquete to address your envelopes as well as the best list formats that will help give you the fastest turn around time.
Yes. I require at least 10 – 15% additional blank envelopes in case of errors for all of my addressing jobs. It’s easier to order them with your initial invitation order than later when time may be an issue. Remember that I am human and mistakes are made. Pens catch and ink splatters. It is best to have extra envelopes to ensure that each envelope can look its best.
