Q: What is the best way to
organize guests names and addresses before someone sends them to the calligrapher?
A: I prefer to get guest lists in the form of an Excel spread sheet – this way I can mail merge it to my liking for addressing. When using Excel its best to organize it in columns as follows: Outer Envelope Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Inner envelope. Below is an example of the preferred format.
Q: How far in advance should I contact the calligrapher?
A: As soon as you have a firm date and an approximate number of invitations call and book the calligrapher. It can take weeks sometimes months to complete a job so a calligrapher can only take a certain amount of work. Best to get on their calendar as early as possible.
