You do not marry someone you can live with,
you marry the person you cannot live without.  Anonymous

  Welcome...kick off your shoes and stay a while.
 
Welcome to Lori Raines Calligraphy Studio.

Humble beginnings in 2001 have evolved into a business that has served brides and wedding planners all over the country and around the world.   Addressing invitations to Bette Midler and Huey Lewis was pretty great, but even better was addressing envelopes to the loved ones of my clients--the family and friends gathered for a day of joy.
 

Addressing any invitation is a time-consuming job.  Addressing wedding invitations calls for following etiquette guidelines, setting aside time and space for the job, and making sure that what you mail out presents a beautiful event for your guests.  Your invitation envelope is the first chance your guests have to see what they will be attending.  Using labels makes your invitation look like junk mail.  Bad handwriting is, well, bad.

Calligraphy, the art of beautiful hand-lettering, is elegant.  It is one of the few times in their life your guests will ever see their names lettered in such a beautiful manner.  Chances are, you are busy with work, school, or life, and haven’t the time to address by hand each invitation.  That is the convenience of this service. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to peruse my site and I look forward to hearing from you!
