Handwritten letter service for all occasions

Trinitybox offers a customised letter writing service where you can choose which font style you would like along with a whole host of presentation options.

I handwrite all letters personally taking great care to ensure the finished product is exactly what you had in mind by sending you a proof before I start work. I will then edit the proof until you are completely satisfied with it before taking payment. When you are happy with the proof, I will then send you a list of questions regarding presentation options.

The most popular letters I write are love letters, anniversary (especially first as this is paper), for the morning of a wedding, poems, birthdays, Christmas to name but a few.

When you send your words to me, I will correct any spelling/punctuation errors and format your words on the page to compliment them as much as possible. I will also add some decorative swirls.

You are also able to choose the paper that I will write your words onto – parchment or hand made paper from India. The hand made paper can have an aged effect added and burnt edges if you would like this option. Dowels/finials are another option you can choose if you would like this look.

Your letter will then be rolled up and trimmed with ribbons and an optional charm or wax seal. It is presented in a card box (black, ivory or natural brown) with matching ribbons and a handwritten gift tag.

Once I have received your words I will give you a quote for the completed work. This quote will include your letter with all the presentation options.

Give a letter or poem as a personalised gift scroll

So you may have spent hours thinking about just the right words to put down on paper to perfectly express your thoughts, but what then… how can you present your heartfelt gift of words beautifully? This is where Trinitybox can help…

I will either print or hand write your message onto a scroll using a choice of fonts (or you can use your own), with a choice of beautiful papers and presented in a box with ribbons, charm (or wax seal) and a gift tag.

There are 3 scroll collections; the Classic for a timeless feel, the Premium for a more rustic, aged/old English feel and the Luxury which is the hand written collection. Please click here for more information about the collections.

The scrolls are available in a small, medium and large size depending on how long your letter is and the format.

There is also an option to have your message printed/hand written onto paper without dowels/finials (the rollers at the top and bottom), like the one pictured below.

If you know what to say but are unsure how to put it down on paper, there is also an option for someone to write a poem for you. Please click here for more information on this.

There is an option for the scrolls to be presented in a solid thuya wooden box, which is a beautiful piece of furniture and makes a beautiful keepsake to house your scroll in.

The order process is simple and can all be done online, but if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 

How many words?

‘How many words will fit onto the scroll?’ This is a very common question that I am asked, and  a very difficult question to answer as it depends on many things such as the layout of the scroll and the font choice; poems are usually centralised and formatted in a certain way, and letters & speeches are usually set to the left. The font used also makes a difference, as the more ornate fonts take up more room on the page, and they often need to be bigger in order to make them completely readable.

If you are having dowels/finials, the paper size will be slightly smaller, as I need to trim the width of the paper in order to attach the dowels/finials so that they will still fit into the presentation box. The actual width of the paper I will use if you would like your scroll to be presented in a box would be 17cm, the length will then vary depending on whether you are having a small, medium or large scroll. If you aren’t worried about your scroll being presented in a box, I can then do much wider scrolls (up to 30cm in width). I make scrolls of many different sizes, the longest scroll to date was a hand written scroll which was 1 metre in length.

If you are unsure which size scroll to order, you can either order the one you think will be best, and I can then advise once I’ve had a look at the text (and either refund or send you another invoice for the difference), or it may be easier to email me your text before ordering for advice on sizing. Please send me your text in a word document.

The choice of fonts I offer for the classic and premium range are here, and the font choices for the luxury range are here. I can however use any other font style that you may prefer for the classic and premium collections, and also possibly for the luxury (hand written) collection. When ordering your scroll, please specify this on the order form, or email me your preference.

I hope this helps slightly if you are wondering which size scroll to order, but if in any doubt, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks for reading, Emma

 

 

 

New from Trinitybox for this Christmas, these Santa scrolls will light up your child’s face as they read the personalised signed letter from Santa and wonder at the magical Reindeer dust that they can sprinkle outside their home on Christmas Eve.

The scroll contains a lovely poem which is personalised to include your child’s details (name, gender, what they would like for Christmas, Street name). This is printed on beautiful handmade paper which has been aged.

Your scroll can have dowels and finials like the one pictured below, or without like above.

Both scrolls are presented in a beautiful gold box with red and gold ribbons and a jingle bell charm. The scroll is trimmed with matching ribbons and a Santa wax seal.

You can have your own message printed on the scroll if you would prefer, or there is also the option for you to have your own poem written especially for your child.

For more details about these charming keepsake scrolls, please click here or contact me for more details.

This beautiful wooden, oak stained box is new to Trinitybox. It is perfect for keeping your scroll inside, to treasure forever.

This box will look perfect in any setting as it has a modern feel, but also would blend nicely with a more traditional decor. The dimensions of the box are 24cm(w) x 14cm(d) x 8.5cm(h), making it large enough to store other small items also if you wanted, particularly ideal for treasured Wedding mementos.

The boxes have hinges and a dark bronze coloured clasp fastener.

The price of the box is an additional £20 on any of the scroll prices listed.

If you would like to order a scroll and wooden box, please contact me.

These invitations are new from Trinitybox. I am making more and more scrolls for themed Weddings, and the Castle/Medieval theme seems to be very popular at the moment, so I have brought out these invitations which can also be used for other events such as Birthday invitations as well as Weddings.

The paper I use for these invitations is made from handmade from recycled cotton which is stained to achieve an aged effect, the edges of the paper pictured here have been scorched here to enhance this effect. There may be minor imperfections on the paper and each sheet will vary slightly from the other because of the nature of the paper being handmade. The invitation has been sealed with a wax seal which has been custom made with the couple’s initials. This invitation has been folded to enable it to fit in a standard envelope; DL (110x220mm) size envelope. These invitations do not come boxed, but matching envelopes are available to order.  The print is highlighted by hand with gold effects and printed on both sides.

The price for the invitations above are £4.50 each. This includes the handmade, stained paper with rough edges and printed on both sides and a wax seal with a fleur de lis symbol. Also gold embellishment on some of the larger text/decorative patterns, your choice of wording with guest’s names and an emailed proof. The optional extras are as follows;

• Burnt edges are 50p per sheet
• Photos are 50p per sheet
• Custom made wax seal with initials – £30

If you wish to order a sample invitation, the price of this is £10.

Matching envelopes are also available with these invitations, which can be sealed using coordinated wax seals.

Please contact me if you would like any further information.
