Make Your Wedding Invitations - Choosing A Font For Your Wedding Invitations
You are planning for your big day.
You have the date, the location and time.
You have been planning for a long time.
You are down to the last 3 months.
It is time to send out the wedding invitations.
You want to make your wedding invitations.
With so many fonts, how do you know which one to use for your cards? Here are a few guidelines you can follow to help you pick the perfect font to use.
First, decide if you want a formal or informal wedding.
This feel can easily come across in your invite.
In early days there were very few choices of type that could be used.
When I trained for the printing industry I had to learn to use an old typesetter.
This had fonts on a tape that went on a wheel.
You had to have a wheel of tape for each font.
Needless to say this was a project.
So the common font for old times was Old English.
This is the traditional wedding font.
Today it is easy to change fonts with just a few clicks on the computer.
You don't have to use Old English anymore.
You have numerous choices.
Using a nice script can give a formal feel to it.
I like Park Avenue or Hancock.
You have to be cautious with the names.
There are so many fonts and the names change but fonts look alike.
So a nice flowing script is a good choice.
You can use a basic type such as Times Roman Italic and then add your script for just the bride and grooms names.
This again is usually a formal look.
If you are using a theme, try to find something that looks like that idea.
There are so many fonts out there.
A nice cartoon font will be playful and fun.
A decorative font can be used if you are using a theme that is artistic.
You have endless ideas.
Just remember to use something that can be read.
You don't want your family calling your new spouse another name because the r looks like an n or something like that.
When you make your wedding invitations you can try several fonts and choose which one you want.
By looking at the overall look you will know which font you want to use.
They have so many fonts that it can be over whelming.
You don't want to mix script fonts or standard fonts.
There are only four font types.
Serif, San Serif, Script and decorative are all font types.
The main thing is to look at your wedding cards and see if they are something you would want to receive.
That is the true test.
Enjoy planning for your special day.
