Calligraphic invitation

About

Hello! I'm Cristine, the calligrapher behind the name. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I'm so excited to help you!

I think we can all agree one of the most exciting things to find in your mailbox is a wedding invitation. Who doesn't love to find out they've been invited to share in the moment when two friends say "I do"? I love to help create the giddy excitement that comes from finding something special in your mailbox. Calligraphy on your wedding invitations can bring your wedding vision to life, and I'd love to help create that excitement for your guests!

In addition to addressing your wedding invitations, let me help you design your invitations, food and drink menus and programs. I can also write your escort cards and table numbers. Maybe you'd prefer a mirrored seating chart or tile place cards or acrylic table numbers. What ever creative way you'd like to invite your guests to your wedding or to their seat, I'm your girl!

I love to be creative but I'm a planner (a.k.a. detail oriented) at heart. With 15 years of wedding experience, I'm pretty sure I've seen it all but try me! I promise to handle your special event the same way I would my own. I want to make sure your wedding vision shines through to your guests from the moment they receive their invitation in the mail until they send you off at the end of your wedding night!

Amazing Calligraphy!

I can’t say enough great things about Cristine! Working with her last year for my wedding stationery needs as far as calligraphy went was amazing and she did a phenomenal job. Cristine addressed my save the dates and invitations and also did a wealth of other items for me, such as gift tags, escort cards, and table numbers. Every piece of her work is absolutely gorgeous and is of the utmost quality. She is also incredibly responsive and sweet and just a joy to work with. I really appreciated her constant updates and transparency into the projects. Her prices are very fair and she’s incredibly upfront about everything. She also gave me great advice whenever I was looking for direction. Her husband even hand delivered items to me outside my office, which was so nice of him! I hope to work with her again many times in the future.

Excellent Service!

Cristine did a wonderful job making our wedding signs for our block party wedding last summer! I sent her a few ideas I had via Pintrest and she completely nailed it!
I wasn't there when she delivered the signs the day before the wedding, but later noticed some of the ink had bled from transporting the signs from her car into the house on a rainy day. From my understanding the signs were covered during transportation but some rain drops accidentally made its way through (understandably). I sent her photos of the water marks and she immediately responded and came over to fix them. I was impressed with her professionalism and her work. I highly recommend Cristine for your calligraphy needs!

Calligrapher

Cristine does beautiful work. I loved working with her for both my daughters’ wedding invitations. Calligraphy has always been an important touch, to me, for any special occasion. Her work is fairly priced and she is prompt and meticulous. You will be happy you called her!

Cristine was a Fabulous find! She was very helpful and efficient, and provided expedient, beautiful details to finish my save the date cards. I was initially nervous as we were across the country from one another, however our communication was easy, proofs were provided and adjusted quickly and we were off to print in no time. She then tackled the wedding invitations, envelopes, and day of items with the same excellence. This included many long, complicated international addresses! Everything was packed gently and shipped quickly to my doorstep, perfect presentation! I highly recommend Calligraphy by Cristine for the most discriminating eye!

Cristine was a pleasure to work with on a few different occasions that I utilized her services. She is quick to respond, and she works in a flexible and timely manner. I especially love that she has so many different styles of gorgeous writing to choose from so it will fit anyone's personality as well as the theme of your wedding. I recommend her to anyone who wants beautifully addressed envelopes, written place cards, invitations, table assignments, table signs, etc. I would not even think about using anyone else. Cristine is the best!

Christine is so talented and puts so much detail into her work. She did a fantastic job on our wedding invites; our guests loved them!!! It really added a very elegant, refined touch to the invites. She has amazing skills, and I think it is so impressive how many different fonts she is able to do; even to customize one just for you. She responds very quick, and has amazing customer service!! I highly recommend her services and will definitely be a return customer!!

I would give Calligraphy by Cristine 1 million stars if I could. I found her while doing research online for calligraphers for our wedding. Cristine responded to all emails quickly and was able to provide samples of her work in a variety of calligraphy styles and colors so we could choose which one would best suit our needs. I also found her prices to be very reasonable. Ultimately, we hired Cristine to do the following:

- Envelope addressing for a 100-guest wedding
- Place Cards
- Table Numbers

Rather than dealing with shipping, Cristine met me at a location near my office which ensured I was able to get things back when I needed them. Everything turned out really great and we received rave reviews from our guests!

I would recommend Calligraphy by Cristine to anyone wanting calligraphy to add to their special occasion.
