I know vendor reviews are normally saved for after the wedding, but I couldn't wait on this one!
I opted to have our invitations written by a calligrapher for several reasons, most of my friends and I have horrible handwriting, I wouldn't agree to labels since it is a formal invitation and I didn't want to burden the few friends that do have good handwritting.
Another bride here on the knot recommended this calligrapher and I will too, a million times over!
Name: Denese Mach
e-mail: calligbydenese@gmail.com
Grade: A++
Why: She was very kind and straight forward with me, her pricing was the lowest ($1.00 for inner/outer envelopes - assuming an unlined inner envelope otherwise 1.50), she was very prompt and called with questions regarding proper salutations rather than guessing.
She does beautiful work, has fabulous samples and is just as sweet as can be. I strongly encourage everyone to consider calligraphy on their invites as it adds such a beautiful touch!
