When I found LHCalligraphy on the web, I immediately fell in love with the custom maps! And when I saw pictures of Laura's invitations and calligrpahy, I knew I wanted her to create my invitations. Although I have never met Laura face-to-face (I live in NYC), the process of working with her was seamless (and conducted mainly via email). I picked out a few designs of Laura's that I liked, I told her the colors and calligraphy I liked, and she designed a beautiful invitation suite (invitation, reception card, response card, and custom map). Laura was also helpful in guiding me into a paper that I would like (she mailed me samples so I could gauge what paper stock would be best for me). Finally, she also did a wonderful job with the custom map -- the time she took to get every last detail "perfect" was greatly appreciated. The end result was a beautiful invitation set that I've gotten TONS of compliments on! Next project? Working with Laura on the menu and program!
