PenDance specializes in addressing wedding invitations, designing custom invitations, and filling in place cards and escort cards in both fine hand lettering and computer calligraphy.

We also hand engrave names, messages, and monograms on wine bottles, toasting glasses, crystal, silver plate, and pewter gift items.  

Our calligraphy and engraving services are available to clients in the Greater Houston area as well as nationwide.

Addressing Envelopes

We offer a variety of hand lettering styles for envelope addressing to suit your taste and budget, beginning as low as $2.50 per set of outer/inner envelopes. Our prices for computer calligraphy are discounted based on quantity.

Learn more about the difference between hand vs. computer calligraphy in our Articles & Resources section.

Copperplate and Spencerian are popular hand calligraphy choices for invitation design, envelope addressing, and place card or escort card fill-ins. Other lettering styles are also available. 

For a custom touch, you might consider having your response cards filled in with your guests' names when you have your envelopes addressed. This personalizes your invitations even more, and you don't have to worry about your guests' forgetting to fill in their names when they respond!

Place Cards & Escort Cards

Place cards and escort cards can also be addressed by hand calligraphy or computer printing. Prices start at $1.25 per place card and $1.50 per escort card/envelope set.

Invitation Design

Maureen Vickery, our lettering artist, designs custom wedding invitations in various hand lettering styles - from traditional script to flourished and fanciful. You can have the entire invitation in hand calligraphy, or just the bride and groom's names to make them stand out on your typeset invitation.

Simply send us the dimensions of your invitation pieces, the wording, and the calligraphy style you prefer, and we'll create the artwork to send to your favorite stationer or printer. Turnaround time is about one week after we start the design.

Hand Engraving

PenDance offers both freehand engraving and sandcarving services. We can engrave many items that can't be handled by traditional machine engraving or laser engraving.
