Lori Raines Calligraphy Studio

History

What started at a dining room table in Lakewood, Colorado has evolved into a business that has addressed envelopes to 82 countries, movie stars, political figures, friends, family members, and other loved ones of my clients. I now live and work in the Pacific Northwest--Oregon. Thanks to the Internet, my business knows no boundaries. I coordinated escort cards for a bride in Hong Kong getting married in Hawaii, and the process was a joy, and everyone was thrilled with the results. I am now hearing from sisters and cousins of my first clients, addressing their wedding invitations, baby announcements, lettering their birth certificates, and still getting updates and pictures from some of my original clients. How many people can say they do what they love for a living? I do!

Specialties

Wedding, corporate event, bar or bat mitzvah, anniversary party--every beautiful event deserves the finest attention to details, and hand-lettered addressed envelopes to your guest is the first place to start. From Bette Midler to Billy Crystal to Huey Lewis, to the family and friends and loved ones of my clients, I have enjoyed being a part of beautiful events all over the country and around the world. I offer a wide variety of fonts and when possible, I am able to duplicate fonts. I encourage my clients to think in color, choosing from any of the colored inks I custom mix or have available, as well as the always elegant black. But it doesn't stop at envelope addressing. Vows, birth certificates, marriage certificates, awards, family trees, custom cards...there are so many uses for this time-honored craft.
