Thank you for your kind responses. The work of addressing 123 outer and inner wedding invitation envelopes has been successfully finished. But I realize my charge for this art was too meager; in some cases the outer envelope was four lines of writing, which I embellished with small hearts and also wrote the state in full, no abbreviations. What was I thinking by offering a total of $250.00?
We live and learn. With each envelope I whispered a prayer for the lovely couple and offered it up.
I will ask the bride not to quote prices should friends and/or relatives be interested in my services.The suggestion received of $2.10 for both outer and inner envelopes seems a better price.
I wil initiate that charge in the future, should I receive other orders.

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
