Beautifully Crafted Wedding Paper

Personalized for you with an easy four step process.

  • I’ll ask you several questions to learn more about you and your vision for your event stationery and signage. I will introduce you to printing methods, trending paper, and signage materials, calligraphy styles, and our go-to luxury embellishments to wow your guests. 

  • I’ll take a few days to produce a design mock-up and formal detailed estimate for your custom project. I require a 50% retainer of the total estimate to officially bring your project to life.

  • I will send you a questionnaire to gain insight into the finer details of your project. I’ll then create a detailed timeline to ensure we remain on schedule and a custom main design proof, for which you will have 2 rounds of revisions. Each item of your project will be carefully reviewed to ensure that I fully execute your vision. Once you are satisfied, I’ll ask for final approval of your proof.

  • After you fulfill the remaining balance, your project is produced. Your project is either ready to be sealed and delivered, or I’ll be seeing you on-site to hand calligraphy. I will assemble and mail your stationery invitation suite, and carefully deliver your day of stationery and post-event stationery. Signage items or on-site services will be provided with care instructions.

Love Notes from My Clients

  • “Incredible Experience!"

    We worked with Shaleema to create our invitation suite and the signs for our wedding. She did a beautiful job on everything! Shaleema worked with us to help bring to life the invitations suite that suited our wedding design and they surpassed our expectations! She created acrylic signs to be displayed at the wedding - bar signs, welcome signs, reserved signs, etc. - they all turned out beautifully! Thank you, Shaleema!

    Austin F.

  • “Super Organized, Beautiful Calligraphy”

    I had a great experience with Shaleema and Swish Calligraphy! She addressed my envelopes and did a wonderful job. She was very organized and timely. She was also very patient with me through a few changes and having to order more envelopes from my stationer! I would 10/10 use her again and would recommend to anyone looking for beautiful calligraphy services!

    Ruth Y.

  • “She did amazing!”

    Working with Shaleema was such a breeze. Our welcome sign, table seating chart and table numbers came out perfect! We seen them online at first while she was working on them, but in person it was even better! We were so glad to find her for our signage needs!

I can elevate your wedding invitation suite…by using a custom sketch of your wedding venue! Imagine this: As your guests eagerly approach their mailboxes, they’re met not just with a simple envelope, but with a piece of art that sets the stage for the magic to come. That’s the power of incorporating your wedding venue sketch into your wedding envelopes and invitation suite. Every stroke of the pen captures the essence of your chosen venue, whether it’s a majestic castle, a quaint garden, or a picturesque beach. It’s not just an envelope; it’s a portal to the world you’re inviting your loved ones to enter—a world filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories. On your wedding invitations, the venue sketch becomes the centerpiece, anchoring the design with its timeless beauty. It’s a subtle yet powerful reminder of the love and commitment that will fill the air on your special day. But the magic doesn’t stop there. As your guests open their invitations, they’re greeted with a sight they won’t soon forget: a full suite of stationery adorned with your venue sketch. From the save-the-dates to the RSVP cards to the details card, every piece is infused with the same sense of wonder and enchantment. And as they hold these invitations in their hands, your guests can’t help but feel a sense of excitement building within them. They know that they’re not just attending a wedding; they’re embarking on a journey—a journey that begins the moment they open that envelope and see your venue sketch staring back at them. So, if you’re looking for a way to make your wedding invitations truly unforgettable, look no further than your venue sketch. With its timeless beauty and boundless charm, it’s the perfect way to set the stage for the celebration of a lifetime. I’m booking 2024 and 2025 events now.

I bet you don’t know why I elevate place cards with ribbon and eyelet detail. My reasons are: 1. Elegant Presentation: Ribbon and eyelets instantly elevate the presentation of place cards, adding a touch of sophistication and refinement to each setting. 2. Personalized Detailing: They provide an opportunity for personalized detailing, allowing hosts to match the theme or color scheme of the event, creating a cohesive and visually stunning table arrangement. 3. Enhanced Visibility: The addition of ribbon and eyelets can enhance the visibility of place cards, making it easier for guests to locate their assigned seats and ensuring a smooth and organized seating arrangement. 4. Memorable Keepsakes: Guests are more likely to cherish place cards adorned with ribbon and eyelets as memorable keepsakes from the event, serving as a tangible reminder of the special occasion and the thoughtfulness of the host. #placecards #namecards #customplacecards #personalizedgifts #personalizedname #bridetobe #groomtobe #bride2024
