How do I price calligraphy work, e.g., wedding invitation envelopes?

I took a course in chancery cursive calligraphy in the early 1970's, before it came into vogue. As the only left-handed student in a class of about twenty, I was determined to learn and use the art, as well as share its beauty. An avid letter/card writer, I designed my own prints, parchments, programs, etc. I was paid for my work, but truly never knew how to market myself. Life changed, with a growing family, work, and church and community involvement over the years. I decided to go back to school for Pastoral Ministry and my calligraphy is now used primarily for letters and cards, sacramental certificates, and occasional parchments. Recently, I received a request from a couple to write the envelopes for their wedding invitations, both interior (addressee's name) and exterior with full name and address. Please advise pricing; I am most appreciative of your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Rosanne
