Computer Calligraphy

With the use of specialized software made exclusively for addressing envelopes and typesetting, Computer Calligraphy is the most cost effective way to give your envelopes a professional look. Computer Calligraphy is available in most mix-to-match colors and is an affordable alternative to other forms of addressing. Choose from hundreds of typestyles and colors to get excellent results on many different papers. The process is so quick, turnaround time can be as fast as just one day.

 

Step 1

Email or call us as soon as possible in order to ensure availability in our calligraphy schedule. We will contact you within 24 hours to determine your exact needs for your special day.

 

Step 2

As soon as it is ready, email your address list. Address list instructions can be found in the “Formatting Instructions” link to the left. Feel free to email your address list before your envelopes have arrived. Getting your address list clean is the longest process.

 

Step 3

Send your envelopes to Added Attractions, 300 North Avenue, Garwood, NJ 07027, being sure to reference your name on the package. Please be sure to include 15-20% additional envelopes with your order.

 

Step 4

Once your address list and envelopes are received, we will be in contact with a proof of each for you to approve. Once you have approved everything, we will go ahead and print your order.

 

Step 5

The envelopes can be picked up at the shop or delivered. When completed the envelopes will be shipped to your attention at the address provided. Review your order within 48 hours of receiving it back to ensure that there are no corrections to be made. Please email a complete list of corrections including the name and address of the guest to lori@addedattractions.com. Later additions or corrections on will be billed directly to the client. Any error on our part will be reprinted without any fee to the client. We always keep several sets of extra materials after the order is completed for this reason.
