I am a freelance calligrapher looking forward to working with you for your next upcoming project! I am open to all projects, big or small. From invitations, to place cards, to certificates/awards, to menus, etc...I am able to create something specifically for you. I am willing to provide samples of a plan of action to make sure you get what you want. I put complete care into everything I do and will not send you something I am not happy with myself.
Things such as place cards, envelopes, etc...I can supply if needed. I have a variety of cardstock/borders for things like place cards and we can get super creative with them if you so choose! The cost if I supply then is insanely reasonable, so please keep that in mind.
If you're looking for blank Thank You cards or something to pick out, I know good quality/cheap/pretty ones to recommend on Amazon, or I can even order then for you and I will only charge you what it cost me to buy them.
**PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST MY SERVICES IF YOU NEED A JOB COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO YOU IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS. I NEED AT LEAST 2 WEEKS FOR ANY JOB - (that does NOT including shipping time if anything needs to be shipped).**
***Please note - Please be realistic as well regarding a time-frame. Calligraphy takes time to do and is not something that can be rushed and I am only one person. I need a MINIMUM of a couple weeks for ANY job...and please be mindful of travel days if the project has to be shipped back and forth in the mail. **I'm on ***************...so please be aware of that if you need somebody local or are on any kind of a time crunch. (If anything needs to be shipped, I recommend allowing a week for shipping each way to be safe. Projects can certainly be overnighted for an extra fee, but I like to avoid situations like that in case something goes wrong with delivery or it's delayed. A week allowance for travel is usually more than enough time. Most projects still ship and only take 1-3 days).
*******Also, please realize, pros are forced to pay for any lead the second a message is sent - even if you're requesting a job that can't be done in a certain time frame. Please be considerate of time and don't request impossible jobs that I cannot do (Example: I need 100 invitations by this weekend and I live in another state so they have to be mailed back and forth as well). *************************************************************************************). Unfortunately, even with these disclaimers in my profile, 90% of the people that contact me, request jobs to be completed and sent returned to them in just a couple of days or even in 24 hours. Shipping alone makes that impossible, not to mention not being able to do that kind of work in that kind of time, even though my profile clearly states 2 weeks minimum. Even with all of this in my profile, **********************************************...not the customer...so I BEG of you...please don't do that to myself or other pros on this app. It's not right. I apologize for the lengthy explanation, but literally 90% of the leads I receive from Thumbtack do this and they don't realize how it actually costs the pros a lot of money requesting impossible jobs and *************** Thank you.**
**Above is also why I require a deposit for any project, (which is 25%-30% depending on project size or a minimum of $50 for smaller projects quoted to be $200 or less). This is because I've already paid for the lead and have to book time in my schedule for that job to accomplish it by the deadline and that limits me from accepting other jobs during that time.**
**(Please note - deposits are NON
-REFUNDABLE if issue is due to client. If client cancels project/doesn't get project details to me within discussed minimum time frame [guest lists, project instructions, materials they're sending directly, etc...] preventing me from doing project in alotted time).
