Using Invitation Fonts to Communicate Your Wedding Theme

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

One of the most important things to remember when designing your letterpress wedding invitations, is the importance of picking a font that captures the theme of your event. Fonts come in all shapes, sizes and colors, so it is important the fonts on your invitation reflect the vision you have for your wedding.

Formal - Many brides dream of having a traditional wedding with all the timeless customs and formalities. Integrating that classic 18th century feeling into your letterpress wedding invitation is the perfect way to emphasize this feeling. Our Baroque invitation wonderfully integrates style, stateliness and elegance.

Casual - With all the pressure, cost and time it takes to plan a large wedding, many brides are choosing to have a smaller, more casual wedding. The great way to let your guests know the event will not be the usual formal affair is through your invitation, and fonts are a great way to do that. Our Serenity letterpress wedding invitation is a beautiful, modest yet sophisticated rendition of a casually styled font.

Whimsical - A sense of humor is an important thing in today’s world. A recent trend in weddings has been to integrate whimiscal, yet tasteful, fonts and words into the wedding invitations. Not only is this perfect to reflect the personalities of the bride and groom, but it sets the mood for the wedding. Capitalizing on their zany story of love, this font and word choice captures the spirit of this couple to be.

Retro - People everywhere are reaching to the past to re-experience the styles they once loved. Pulling from an ‘old school’ idea to capture the essence of a wedding is an idea that is building momentum. Our new Chopin style letterpress wedding invitation utilizes a font that expresses this emotion. A retro feeling in a chic, artistic invitation.
