How long does calligraphy take?
Calligraphy addressing for envelopes requires two- three weeks turn around time depending on my production calendar, not including shipping. Place cards are done 2-4 weeks prior to the event. Digital calligraphy requires 3-5 business days depending on the complexity of the work. Email me with all the details and I will get back to you within 2 business days.
How do I prepare a guest list?
Please prepare your guest list in a Word document, alphabetical order. Include all titles and spell out all street names, cities and states. Please note- I may have to adjust parts of your calligraphy addressing to fit properly on the envelope. Contact me if you have any questions regarding this.
You can email your list to mellenseidman@gmail.com.

All my calligraphy is done by hand, using a traditional dip pen and inks or gouache, a watercolor paint used to match just about any color.
