Please use this checklist to assure
the best customer service:
1) When ordering envelopes
____ Order 15% more envelopes than number to be mailed out.
____
Return address is traditionally printer on back flap of outer envelope.
____ If
ordering liners, please ask the printer NOT to adhere liner to the envelope,
this can be done after the calligraphy is executed.
2) When making out your guest list:
____
List in Word document only. Spreadsheets are not acceptable.
____
List in alphabetical order. One list only.
____
EVERYTHING needs to be spelled out completely. The only exceptions are: Mr.,
Mrs., Ms., Dr., Jr., or Sr. Please spell out street, the names of states,
North, Apartment, etc. Numbers under twenty are spelled out.
____
Please ask if you are not sure how to address a specific living situation or
titles.
____
If you want the traditional left indented (stair-step) format, have your list
in left justified format. For example:
Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Livingston
123
South Main Street
Asheville,
New York 26975
____
If you want the lines centered, have your list center formatted. For example:
Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Livingston
123
South Main Street
Asheville,
New York 26975
3) For pricing addressing services:
____ Estimates are based on standard envelopes and black ink.
Until pen is put to paper, it is possible to have unforeseen difficulty with
the paper or lining. Additional fees may be applied if the surface is too
rough, paper is dark, liner is attached, metallic surface and/or letterpress
paper. Be aware that envelopes other than standard white or cream may be more
complicated to have addressed with a dip pen. Additional time for these
concerns will be billed.
____
Envelopes will be addressed exactly as given to me. Any mistakes made on
the list will be at the client's expense. Any mistake made during the execution
of the envelopes will be redone at no charge.
____ There is a flat $35.00 setup fee
for envelope jobs and $25.00 for place cards. Cost per line is based on
lettering style selected. Additional set-up fees will be applied if additional
time is necessary due to paper quality or the client's list needs corrections.
____ I allow for a one-time batch of
additions to the list.
____ Once job is delivered, any request for
additional addressing services will be billed under my standard minimum order
of $35.00.
