Calligraphers north of Boston

nboraiza

Hi - looking for recommendations for calligraphers North of Boston (or Boston - just not South or West) to address my invitations.  FI and I both have horrible, horrible handwriting and cannot do it ourselves!  I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on these either - less than $1.50 for inner and outer per envelope.  Any recommendations?  Thanks so much!

Thanks!  Lettering by Liz is $4 an envelope for outer and inner - her work is beautiful but way out of my price range.  And unfortunately easyaddressing.com is only for Checkerboard invitations - which I did not use.  I'll keep looking!

I found a calligrapher on craigslist.  She emailed me samples of her work and is will to pick up and drop off the envelopes.  We agreed on $170 for 115 invitations (outer and inner envelopes). 

I really liked Lettering by Liz, but I agree, her rates are just too high.

Send me a PM if you want her contact info.

LOL. Too funny. I'm taking a calligrapher class with Liz at the end of this month... want to see if I'm any good and can make some extra money on the side.

If you want to do your own, Liz's classes are $70.

I took a calligraphy class from CJ Kennedy.  She does all different styles.  Here's her site:

Coordinally Yours in Newton, Ma. Rhoda  was reasonable and very nice to work with. Can't remeber her price but I remeber it be comparable and more reasonable. Good luck in your search.

Go to Etsy! I found an awesome calligrapher that charged $1.00 per envelope (though I think her prices just increased a little). Her name is Rachel Carl and she'll even make a custom return address stamp to match your font (which saves costs because we'll do all the RSVP envelopes ourselves). http://www.rachelcarlco.com/
