Fonts for weddings

Wedding type sets a tone before a single word is read, so the display face is doing emotional work — elegant, romantic, celebratory. A high-contrast serif or a graceful script makes names and the date feel like an occasion, and this is one of the few places where a formal script genuinely belongs. Pair it with a restrained, highly legible body, because guests still have to read a venue address and an RSVP time without squinting; a clean serif or a calm sans keeps the practical details clear. Mind legibility on the script: the fancier the display, the more the body has to compensate, and all-caps or tightly-set script addresses can become unreadable. A pairing of one expressive voice and one quiet one keeps an invitation feeling both special and usable.
