As a professional calligrapher, I’ve hand lettered and calligraphed hundreds (probably thousands) of place cards. From elegant and timeless card stock tented place cards to beautiful and one-of-a-kind agate slices, the opportunities are endless when it comes to unique place cards.

Below are some of the many benefits of hiring a custom calligraphy service like place cards.

  • Truly custom
  • High-end and professional artistry
  • Personalized guidance
  • Attention to detail (this is the big one!!!)

Who doesn’t like to see their name written pretty? 😉
