Brandon and Ashley's Wedding Dinner Party

Sharing one of my all time favorite weddings ; Brandon and Ashley’s intimate celebration in Virginia! Ashley reached out to me to create custom menus and place cards for each of her guests. Everything came together beautifully for their gorgeous dinner party with their closest friends.

I created their custom calligraphy menus in Navy ink that complimented their red monogram wax seal perfectly. The mix of modern calligraphy script and all caps descriptions gave the menu a casual feel, all while still making a statement at the place settings. The menus highlighted the courses as well as the sourcing of their ingredients. The personal touches to the menus through the wax seal and calligraphy made the party even more special.

No place setting is complete without place cards! These place cards were done on handmade paper and with navy calligraphy.

Custom Calligraphy Letters from Santa and Nice List Certificates

Calligraphy Letters from Santa and Personalized Nice List Certificates

Letters from Santa and Nice List Certificates have arrived in the shop! I cannot think of a better way to add some extra magic to Christmas for your kiddos! Just think of the excitement they will have when they receive a giant red envelope in the mail addressed to them in calligraphy with cute holiday postage sent directly from the North Pole!

The Details

The letters are done on 5.5 x 8 linen “Santa Stationery” designed and painted by Roc Pen and Ink ! Each letter can be personalized with the recipients achievements from this past year. The letters will be written in an easier-to-read calligraphy style in gold ink, each one done by hand and fully customized to the recipient! If you would like to provide the exact wording for your letter that is possible too! If not, I will incorporate your highlighted accomplishments into a very jolly letter!

The Delivery

The letters will be enclosed in a bright red envelope that is hand addressed in my calligraphy in gold and white ink. Each envelope will have a combination of vintage and current holiday themed postage to add that extra special Christmas feel! The backside of the envelope will be return addressed from Santa and will be sealed with an “Official North Pole mail” wax seal. Unless specified the letter will be mailed directly to the recipient.

If you would like your child’s letter delivered directly to you for placement with their stocking on Christmas morning or to be delivered by their Elf, please let me know and we can arrange that! In this case, you would still receive the letters in a red envelope with your child’s name and a note saying “delivered via Jingle the Elf”, etc.

The Nice List Certificate

There is an option in the shop to add a Nice List Certificate! The Certificates were also designed and painted by Roc Pen and Ink! Each certificate will be personalized in gold calligraphy with the recipients name. The certificates are signed by Santa and Bernard, his Head Elf, in gold calligraphy. The certificates will also be sealed on the bottom with a Santa Claus monogram wax seal. The Certificates are a perfect addition to the letter!

Order the letters and certificates in the Shop! There is only a limited number of each so grab yours while you can!

Both the letter and certificate are a great way to remind your recipient of the magic of the Holiday season! As always, if you have any questions please email me directly!

Lauren and Todd's Mini Wedding

I absolutely loved working with Lauren to execute her vision! Lauren initially reached out to me earlier in 2020 to do the envelope calligraphy for her invitations. She additionally had big plans for her mid-summer celebration that included a lot of acrylic signage including a seating chart, a welcome sign, and table numbers. Lauren and Todd had to reschedule their big celebration and opted for a micro-celebration on their original wedding date with a smaller guest list due to covid restrictions. Lauren still incorporated acrylic elements for their mini wedding including a welcome sign, table numbers, and some social distancing signage! Their welcome sign and table numbers will be repurposed for their big celebration next year!

Lauren chose an elevated script for her envelopes in silver ink! I love how the ink color coordinated with her invitation suite.

With social distancing in full effect, Lauren chose to add an acrylic sign that said “Spread Love, Not Germs” to their welcome table at their ceremony that included masks and hand sanitizer.

With a smaller guest list, Lauren wanted to add an extra special favor to thank their close family and friends for celebrating with them. I worked with Lauren to execute her vision for custom agate coasters that had silver painted edges. The coasters doubled as place cards for their guests.
