However, whether the cost is reasonable depends on the quantity of invitations involved and the content of the service. If the service provider was also responsible for mailing out the invitations and therefore had to be given the personal information of the guests, it's possible that she was chosen because she had a reputation of being discreet.
Just guessing.
As for the price for fancy calligraphy, just check out any issue of Martha Stewart Weddings or ask the people there.

That's just what I see on the surface when I look at the web site and see her comments and notes on the project. There are sure to be many other components that need to be considered as well. So there is a lot there that could ultimately justify the pricing in all honesty.
Good design is not just about picking out a pre-packaged font and typing away. Design may look effortless, but it really isn't. #michaeljackson

$35,000 for 'burial garments'? What in the name of all that is holy did you bury him in? A top-of-the-range Sheridan sheet set?

Once again, there were mistakes, tragedy and sorrow in his life, much like the rest of us. Like Ted Kennedy, he had issues that could not be reversed, yet they both still managed to achieve many of their loftier goals. Each in his respective field of expertise.
Michael earned hundreds of millions of dollars in his lifetime, and although there were financial difficulties at his death, they will soon be rectified and squared away.
I choose to remember the great music, exquisite visuals, the generosity of creating Neverland and constantly opening it up to the less fortunate. Going there was a magical experience with all the candy, ice cream, rides, etc. Any kids dream come true. Just to point out, the enormous cost to Michael for the creation and upkeep of Neverland was in his mind worth it just to see the smiles on the kids faces who, yes, went there and had a magnificent time.
He traveled the world and knew his mere presence to some kids was a healing experience and he gave of himself tirelessly.
His lyrics were also geared towards improving the human condition as well as our planet. He was an easy target for people's scorn as he was victime to the twisted circumstances and abberations of the human mind. With a healthy dose of enabling and parasitic relationships.
His contributions to music, entertainment, dance, showmanship can never be denied. Nor can any living thing be stagnant and remain exactly the same forever. Now he can finally rest in peace. His life is a great American story.
