"I'm so glad you made accessorizing my wedding FUN. Something that I thought was going to be difficult became easy. Something I had dreaded became this fantastic experience I now tell everyone about. In one place, you had everything I needed and wanted and I didn't have to break the bank to have it. You listened. You took the time. No pressure. So refreshing. It started with ordering our invitations, then my exquisite headpiece and veil, then all the rest. Thanks for treating us like friends rather than customers."

My invitations are custom designed for each client. No two are alike. I listen to what each client is looking for and design something unique for their event. They get personalized attention and I can design a suite of paper products just for them. Products include invitations, programs, menus, thank you cards, favor tags, etc.
Average Cost :: $600 (starting at $400)
Calligraphy
For calligraphy, we use waterproof or water resistant inks that will ensure your calligraphed envelopes will arrive to your guests in good condition. Our calligraphy is done with a vintage pen in the copperplate scripted style and we love to use colored iridescent inks whenever possible.
We can provide calligraphy for seating cards, tags for wedding favors, or whenever you need something special.
Before you make a decision to order, you can view previously made samples or a sample made to your specifications.
Completion time on wedding invitations is typically 6 to 8 weeks. Time on custom made images being designed into rubber stamps is longer. We do our best to accommodate rush orders. Please contact us to inquire about availability.
"Starglow is willing to spend time with clients and listen to their requests which many other invitation companies are not interested in doing. When I send a client to check out Starglow they order every time. It is an incredible value for handmade invitations."
