Envelopes
Please provide approximately 10 extra envelopes per 100 envelopes (10% additional). Mistakes in spelling can occur because I'm concentrating on letter formation. You will not be charged for my mistakes.

NOTE: If you have dark envelopes or darkly lined envelopes please provide 20% additional envelopes. I tend to make more mistakes on these type of envelopes.

Discount

You'll receive a 10% discount on additional projects. If I address your envelopes and write your place cards, you will receive the discount on your place card costs.

Addresses
Please provide a typed, finalized list of all addresses as you would like them to appear on the envelope. Below the address please have the inner names written as you would like them written. See sample below. Unless otherwise requested, virtually all address wording will be aligned center and placed slightly below center on the envelopes.

Sample of how address should be typed for your envelopes
