Lori Raines Calligraphy Studio

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. Contact me to learn more about how calligraphy can be part of your day.

History

Established in 2001.

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!

Meet the Business Owner

Lori R.

Business Owner

First and foremost, I am a child of God saved by the blood of Jesus, a wife, mother, and then business owner. I am married to my high school sweetheart. We found each other in 2001, 20 years after he graduated. I am the mother to Katherine, serving our country in the US Navy, and Alison, my happy surprise.

I was a legal secretary/​assistant for 12 years when I picked up a set of pens and a book on calligraphy at Michaels Arts & Crafts and taught myself calligraphy. I took to it like a duck to water and the rest is history. Some women spend money at Nordstrom, I find nirvana at a stationery/​paper or art store that has an aisle dedicated to inks and pens. To me, that is happiness.

I am so blessed to work at home doing what I love. I hope you will take a tour through my website and enjoy yourself along the way!
