    Choosing fonts


    Ok, so you have a great looking design for wedding invitations and you already made up some great wording that will make an impact on your guests when they open an invitation from you.
    But what to do with the font?


    Variety of Wedding fonts

    There are hundreds and hundreds of available fonts on Internet and what's promising it's FREE. In the end of the article you will find few great websites you can look for a free font for your wedding invitations.


    You can simply browse few categories that match up your wedding situation – from romantic fonts to specific fonts. You can be amazed by the quality of professionally designed fonts that are available for free. Choose something that would read well on wedding invitations. Wedding fonts are something you should really look at carefully because of unreadable design sometimes. But it depends on the size of invitation, and the design itself.


    I would recommend going for at least two different fonts to get the best out of your wedding invitations. One font is for names of groom and bride and another simpler font for invitation's main part wording. You want your guests to actually see where your wedding would take place, don't you? Garamond would do it. I use it quite often in my wedding invitation designs. What about the size?


    Wedding fonts' size


    We all care about the size but this time the size of your font. As mentioned above, two is better than one. This applies to wedding font size as well. Again, it all varies from one wedding font to another. You can go this simple way to get the best fit and style for your invitations as possible. Open your printable wedding invitation in any format that you have it in. I prefer Adobe Photoshop. It's useful especially when the invitation is layered; I can easily change the size and position of any design elements to fit it all together with style and proportion.


    Ok, you have your fonts installed in your windows fonts' folder and an opened a wedding invitation in image editor. Try applying your font for the names of groom and bride first. Make it as big as you need, you can reduce the size later. Now, move it around to get the best possible position that would satisfy you. We are done for now with this.


    Create another layer (it's easier if you do it in Adobe Photoshop but another editor would do it too). Choose another wedding font you would use for main part of invitation wording. Write the wording in slightly smaller font size, making sure it's readable and not too big to not take the attention out from your wedding design or photos of groom and bride (in case its photo wedding invitation).

    You can now leave the fonts alone and take a look at your creation from different points. Try making an invitation bigger or smaller size, does it look different? It should look good in both. Some fonts, especially fonts look odd when too big.


    Now you have a great wedding invitation that is ready for printing!
