Offerings

Hand-lettered place cards and wedding details are often the pieces guests interact with most closely — names, tables, and small moments that quietly shape the flow of the celebration. Each element is lettered by hand to add a personal touch and create visual continuity throughout the event.

Common offerings include place cards, escort cards, envelope addressing, table numbers, and small paper signage such as bar menus, welcome notes, or table signage. Needs vary by event, and we’ll talk through what’s most appropriate for your design and guest experience during the inquiry process.

Approach

Hand-lettered place cards and wedding details are created with careful attention to format, spacing, and consistency across each piece. I focus on the lettering itself, working in alignment with your wedding team to ensure clarity and cohesion throughout the full set, as well as the larger event design.

Pricing varies based on quantity, ink, and material selection. All offerings are quoted individually following an inquiry.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, I’d be glad to support your event with hand-lettered details designed for guests to engage with throughout the day.
