Live calligraphy & engraving · Surat to anywhere
Guests forget the menu. They never forget their name, written by hand.
Heena sets up at your function and writes or engraves each guest's name on a keepsake, right there, while they watch. It's the one return gift nobody leaves behind on the table.
Anything that can carry a name. Leather pouches, keychains, hats, fabric pouches, hand fans, perfume bottles, glasses, diaries, potli bags, coasters, bangle boxes. Tell us your theme and we'll suggest the right keepsake.
We're based in Surat and set up anywhere in India. Destination wedding abroad? We'll pack the pens.
Date, city and roughly how many guests. That's all we need to start.
We can source them for you, or you send your own. We'll suggest what works for your guest count.
Ink colour, script, English or Gujarati, little motifs. It all ties in with your décor.
On the day we set up the stall, and every guest walks away with their own name on something lovely.
Before the decorator. Before the caterer.
Wedding season weekends go quickly, and Heena can only be at one function at a time. The day your date is fixed, send it to us and we'll tell you straight away if it's free.
Wedding or event planner? Add a live calligraphy stall to your packages. We'd love to work with you.
Type your name, or a guest's, and see it on a fan. This preview is only a font. On the day, Heena writes every letter by hand, and no two come out the same.
Perfume bottles, glasses, letters, notebook covers, passport holders, wallets. Heena writes on almost anything and engraves on glass and other engrave-friendly surfaces. Not sure about your item? Send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly.
Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, Rakhi, farewells, or just because. A name, a date, an inside joke, a whole letter. We write it the way you'd say it.
Diwali and New Year gifts for clients, welcome kits for new joiners, thank-you gifts, giveaways at your events. Every piece carries the person's own name in real handwriting, with your logo or message beside it. That's very hard to pass on.
And if your item isn't here, ask anyway.
Calligraphy and engraving, taught from scratch. You don't need neat handwriting. If you can hold a pen, you can learn this, and you'll go home with something you made yourself.
Small groups, a relaxed pace and lots of practice. Follow us on Instagram for upcoming dates.
A hands-on break for your office. Lovely for offsites, Women's Day and festive weeks. Everyone takes home their own piece.
Birthdays, kitty parties, bridal showers, college clubs. Pick a date, gather your people, and we'll bring the rest.
Founder, Penwave · Surat
I started Penwave four years ago with one pen, a bottle of ink and far too many practice sheets. Today I write in English and Gujarati on paper, glass, leather and almost anything people bring me, and I engrave on glass too.
Live events are my favourite part. Someone walks up to the stall, tells me their name, and moments later they're holding it, written just for them. That little smile is why I keep saying yes to one more event.
HeenaAs soon as your date is fixed. In wedding season, weekends fill up first, and Heena can only be at one function at a time.
