WEDDING FAQ'S

When should I start planning invitation stationery for my wedding?
Ideally, you should begin speaking with a stationer about 10-12 months prior to the date of your wedding. It can take time to decide on a design and take time to perfect the final look and feel of your invitation suite. It’s also always a good idea to allow at least 6 weeks for printing so starting early is better than running into timeline issues or rush fees too close to your date.

When should I book calligraphy services for signage and day-of artwork?
Because these things can be created and adjusted more easily than something being printed on paper, it is best to reach out to a calligrapher anywhere between 4-12 weeks prior to your wedding. Rule of thumb for any moving parts of your wedding: the earlier, the better! Last minute additions or adjustments can result in rush fees and possibly not being able to achieve the look you’re desiring. For out of state calligraphy artwork, I would advise communication begin any where between 10-16 weeks prior to your wedding date to allow time for shipping/mailing.

When should I book wedding envelope calligraphy services?
If you are planning to hire a calligrapher to address your wedding invitations, I would recommend reaching out at least 6 months prior to your wedding date (3 months prior to actually getting them in the mail). This allows for time to discuss and decide on the type of calligraphy you’d like, the ink color you’d like to use, and it allows for enough time for the calligrapher (me!) to receive your envelopes, address them, and return them to you before needing to get them in the mail to send out to your guests.

How do I send the guest address list to you?
Either printing your address list or emailing it over in an excel spreadsheet works great! I appreciate each of these subjects in separate columns: name(s), street, city, state, zipcode but will walk you through this during our consultation.

What happens if I have a late addition?
Late address additions are accepted as long as I have your envelopes “in my court”. Once I’ve returned your envelopes to you, any additional addresses will incur an additional fee.

What if I find an error on my completed addressed envelopes?
Should you find an error after receiving your completed order, I will absolutely redo any envelopes at no additional cost to you.

What ink colors do you have to choose from?
Just about any color you can imagine. I’m also happy to mix custom colors for an additional fee.

If I don’t want to purchase my own envelopes, could Scrolling Calligraphy find envelopes I like?
You bet! I have many different textures and colors of envelopes on hand, but I’m also happy to order them specifically for you!

What style of calligraphy should I use on my envelopes?
Deciding which style of calligraphy to use should be a happy mix of: what you like and what matches your wedding style/theme. When you book your order with me, I send 4 different styles of calligraphy for you to choose from. These are all styles that I specialize in. If you need help deciding, I am here for you and would be happy to help make suggestions along the way.

Can I pick and choose what I want Scrolling Calligraphy to design for my wedding?
Of course! I LOVE getting creative and I love being a one-stop-shop for some people or a “pick ‘n choose” kinda business for others. Need 1 thing, or fifty? I’m your gal!


EVENT FAQ'S

Do I pick up items for my special event or can you deliver to the venue?
Most clients decide on a pick up date ahead of their scheduled event, however I am happy to deliver your items to the venue or meet up with an event planner for an additional cost.

When can I expect my items?
In our initial consultation, we will talk about a completion date. It all depends on products and tools needed for your specific artwork. Most projects are completed within 2 weeks.

Am I responsible for finding products for my project? Ie: chalkboards, acrylic, etc.
It all depends. In our initial communication, we will discuss what you’re looking for, if you’d like to rent pieces or keep them after your event. Once decided, we’ll talk specifics of who will procure any products. Usually I have most items on hand, but if any special items are needed, I have wholesale contacts in place to help.
