Hand calligraphy adds a personal touch to every event---to your special event!  Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events can be enhanced by the addition of hand done lettering.
  • Invitations Designed
  • Envelopes Addressed
  • Escort Cards, Place Cards
  • Table Names or Numbers
  • Menus, Programs

From the moment your guests receive their invitation in the mail, they will know you have cared about every detail and the event will be one they---and you---will remember.

 

My slide show below features many designs completed for several CECI New York clients;  complete designs can be seen on their website:   www.cecinewyork.com/ 

Using the traditional pointed pen, I render script in both Copperplate and Spencerian 'hands'.  In addition, I can write in the style of many commercial script typefaces such as Rook, Citadel and Bickham, to name a few.
 
 

Color can enrich your invite---set the mood and coordinate with your reception decor and wedding attire.  Envelopes can be in color or use color in the printing or the ink I use to address them.   A nice touch is to use color to line the inner envelopes---and perhaps a touch of color on the invite itself, such as a motif, a monogram or a graphic border.

Save the Dates for CECI New York

I have been fortunate to work with CECINewYork clients for several years.  The boxed 'save the date' with a band for the address is just one example of alternatives to standard, expected envelopes and cards.
 

CECI New York

There are many creative and responsive stationers and wedding planners here in NYC.  These are a few that I have worked with for several years and am impressed with their quality and performance.  A few of them have turned into clients---as I did their wedding calligraphy myself.  An honor to be picked.
