Going on a Font Hunt…

Fonts, fonts and more fonts! We could spend hours looking for the perfect font for your invitations—and we do!! With so many free font sites out there, where do you even start? Usually, dafont is where the font hunt begins for us. If we have trouble finding something there urbanfonts or fontica are next on the list.

A few things to keep in mind when choosing fonts:

  • Don’t overdo it – keep your selections to a combination of 2 or 3 for formal style invitations
  • When using font sites such as dafont, take advantage of the custom preview option and use your names or actual wording to see how it might look before downloading everything in sight
  • Make sure your fonts are legible, some fonts just don’t work for certain words
