1. Scheduling and Payment Guidelines
Scheduling: Because our work is, thankfully, in great demand, we have to schedule you on our calendar.
To do this, you need to mail us a check for a $100 deposit, which is non-refundable but is applied to your final balance.
Payment: We require payment for your original list count when we receive your envelopes and guest list.
Any additions to your original list will be invoiced separately and paid upon our completion of these additions.
If we must re-scribe any envelopes due to a mistake on your guest list, we must charge for them. Any re-scribing due to a mistake on our part is done without charge to you.
2. GUEST LIST FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
It's to your advantage to follow these so that your envelopes will be accurate and back to you on time.
PLEASE PROVIDE AT LEAST 10% OVERAGE ON ENVELOPES
In 12 pt. type, give us the information exactly as you want it on the outer and inner envelopes using the following format:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones
200 Beacon Tower Dr. (we will write out "Drive")
Atlanta, GA 33216 (we will write out "Georgia")
Rob and Elaina or Mr. and Mrs. Jones
Robbie and Susan or Master Jones and Miss Jones (if there are children invited)
- If there is no inner envelope and children are invited, you would put
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones and Family for the outer envelope
- If the addressee is a single person, put Mr., Ms., or Miss before the name.
- If you are allowing a guest to come with this person, on the inner is where you would write
"and Guest". This goes on the outer envelope if there is no inner.
(If your list is in Excel, please convert it to a Word document. If you can't do this, please make sure the information in Excel is 12 pt. size. See item #9 under Surcharges)

We no longer scribe to match certain fonts because of time constraints, but our Hands are compatible with any font.
