We all struggle with wedding cards - fonts and ideas and wordings. But you forget sometimes that your invites are really the ones that show your wedding in the first light. So it really pays to make them beautiful and mostly, personal. By knowing the right font that rings the bell, you can save up a few pennies on your save-the-dates or invites and other stationery. So we decided to take a look at the rules that work around fonts and why the 10 amazing ones we chose are perhaps the best ones to consider this year. Put a little effort and you'll do well. 1435757890_white_floral

1. Select The Font  Pick one and let it be the guiding light to all your wedding stationery. Identify who you are both as a couple - minimalistic, modern, kitschy, quirky, elegant or hippy. There are fonts for each personality - cursive ones for those looking at Parisian glamour. Aztec-inspired fonts for the hipster guys and fonts that come in straight lines for the minimalist modern ones. 2. Choose more than just one font You use only font? What are you - crazy? Pick two-three fonts that can merge well with each other. You need a primary font, a tiny one and a nice medium font that adds a bit of personality to your card. So let them not jar - let the fonts belong in the same family with slight variations. You can liberally use them wherever. 1432295244_unnamed

3. Where can you find free fonts?  You see, free fonts are everywhere - but the most variety is in these five places. You could alternatively use them and experiment and show the designer you hire your ideas so he can research and tweak it according to what you need. You could try each font according to ideas, themes and personalities. You can even type and see which one suits you on preview. 4. What should I be cautious about? 1. Know your fonts. Cursive fonts are for elegant ceremonies but let's not try to completely the Sans-Serif options (fonts without tails, ideally).  There are a few that give a rather staid but modern vibe. 2. When you are looking for a font, don't just look at it written in the dummy word. Make sure you type it out in your names and words so you can see which ones are looking terrible and which ones are difficult to read. Caution: display type fonts can be tricky, preview always! 3. Remember to choose a readable font - considering we're getting all fancy here, we often forget that it needs to be easy to read. Every font you try - you should try it in "italics" and "bold" just to see if it's readable. 1436853713_IMG_4940

5. Choose the right paper Yes, you got your font but it looks terrible on handmade paper. That's a real problem. So look for fonts that fit the stationery first. Your best choices: handmade paper, textured paper, gold foil printing on regular paper. Now just so you could save on a bit of time, we got you 5 amazing fonts that are fool-proof and will always, always look good on invites!!! 1425532690_1424359938_einvite
