Fonts can make or break an invitation, particularly in today's era of typography heavy designs. For your viewing pleasure I've put together my favorite invitation fonts, grouped into three collections: Vintage, Handwritten and Script.

Typically I like to use two fonts on an invitation, the exception to the rule being on vintage designs were you'll sometimes find three or even four fonts working together.

Handwritten invitations take the cake for personalization, but if a calligrapher isn't in your budget then using handwritten fonts can be the next best thing. Script fonts are elegant but need to be used sparingly and mixed with a serif or sans-serif font to keep the invitation easy on the eye.

There is an art to font pairing, check how your two favorite fonts look together before you commit to using them on 100 invitations! If you are using Download & Print templates to DIY your invitations we've taken the guesswork out of font pairing and inserted our recommendations onto the template. These fonts compliment the design, and best of all they can be downloaded for free!

A word of warning, all the fonts you see below can be downloaded for free (personal use only) using the links provided. However, when you visit the free font websites please be sure to only click on the font download button. You will see other download buttons that will take you to something other than the font, and you really don't want to install these on your computer!
