Meet the Artist ✦
I’m Afshawn, and I like doing things old school. Why print escort cards when you can give each wedding guest an artful keepsake from your special day? Why use the same, tired digital font when I could hand-craft each card with my modern calligraphy style instead? This personal, attentive approach to calligraphy is what makes my place cards stand out, and is what will make your guests smile as soon as they arrive at your event.
Let’s wow your friends and family with place cards as unique as you are. And they don’t have to be on paper! Popular cards and embellishes include:
- Wax seals
- Sea glass
- Spanish tiles
- Capiz seashells
- Dried citrus
“I’m blown away! Afshawn does the most beautiful work. She is diligent, stays in communication with you the entire time, very efficient, personable and her work is meticulous!”
— Tanya G.
