Unique Envelope Addressing


Just Your Type Design started out back in 1995 when I was unable to find a unique invitation for my son's Bar Mitzvah so decided to make my own. I ended up making everything paper related for that special event, receiving many many compliments, especially on the way I had addressed the envelopes. I ended up buying my next child's invitations but continued to address the envelopes, taking elements from the invitation design and matching colors and typestyles, creating an envelope that was as beautiful as the invitation itself. Other parents started inquiring who had addressed my envelopes and when I told them I had done them myself, I was honored when asked if I could do for them as well. 

In 2000, I bought my youngest child's invitations from Detroit area party planner Andrea Solomon who after seeing my work, gave me the opportunity to address envelopes for many of her clients. Envelopes led to wedding programs, place cards, seating charts, table cards, event maps and more in addition to a wonderful friendship. Word of mouth satisfaction has earned me clients from all over. I love coming up with something new for each event and look forward to helping make yours extraordinary as well.
