Envelope Addressing
This is no average piece of mail!
Make your wedding memorable from the first impression with a beautiful handwritten guest address that lives up to the beauty of what is inside of them.
Katherine is amazing! Her attention to detail throughout the process was above and beyond. Katherine doesn't just focus on the calligraphy but also makes sure we had everything on the guest list laid out properly, names were spelled correctly, provided guidance on best practices for proper titles etc. It was the full experience and she worked wonderfully with our wedding planner as well which made it even more seamless.
