OMG! Who did you use?????? Did you complain to the company???

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

I didn't complain because she did them by hand, they looked excellent, and I was able to get the smell out. I left the envelopes near an open window for a few days and the scent came out. So, it ended up being okay.

Who did you use in Port Washington? I'm looking for someone who is close by and not too expensive.

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

Depends on the paper, but I found the average is 1.50-2.50 per set.

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

I've seen prices around $1.10 - $1.50 for computer & $1.50 - $2.50 for hand.

Anyone know what the difference is between the computer calligraphy & your home printer?

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

I used a company in Wisconsin, you just mail everything to them and they do them on computer. I paid I think about .90 per envelope with return address. It would have been cheaper but I wanted colored ink. I don't have inner envelopes so I didn't have to worry about that. In total it came to about $55 for 90 envelopes. Their turn around time is super quick also, like a week.

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

You have to check if it is hand calligraphy or done by computer. Hand calligraphy is a bit more, but hand done. I think average is $2. However, I have seen it for $5 too.

Computer calligraphy averages $1 - $2.

The difference in the calligraphy they do computerized vs. doing it on your own computer is a sw program. There is a professional program (about $1k) that has a huge variety of fonts. It also figures out the spacing and scaling. Most places also have higher quality computers, so it doesn't smudge.

A friend of mine had William Arthur invites. She tried printing them herself on the PC, but the envelopes were so thick. By the time I received the invite, the outside looked awful. It was as if you could scratch the printing off. It was like, it didn't adhere to the envelope.

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

I am paying $1 per set (inner & outer envelope).

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

Hand calligraphy makes a nice touch, especially when done right... I can notice a big difference in the computer printed ones. JMO

Re: What is a normal price for Calligraphy?

I've hear $1.50-$200 per set hand done. NSgraham had a few reccomendations on her budget vebdor page.
I am thinking of also havign my placecards done in hand caligraphy. Would it take too long to get back?
