Hello after a while of 'no wedding planning' im back at the drawing board and im planning on making my own invites.

I worked out how to download and load new fonts but i cant seem to find any I like

Im being really fussy, as in perfect font but i didnt like the 'r'

Looking for main text to be simple and names etc. to be in a handwritten style

Have you came across any?

I was going to order pocketfolds but have decided to cut costs and make DL style pocketfolds :) happy with choice but a lot of work...

Sorry for some reason this didn't pop up as a new topic for me until yesterday hence the late late reply oops.

How are you getting on with the fonts?

I'd suggest places that offer free downloadable fonts like

I know how you feel by the way and I don't think you're being too picky :) I made sure all my stationary/cards/videography fonts matched and were in keeping with my vintage/chic style so don't compromise for that 'r' you don't like :)

'we' really like scriptina for the names, but still not sure on the plain text working with 'copperplate light' at the moment

thanks for the link to the website.

going to get stamps from wedloco and then compare them to fonts for inserts

keep you posted x

It is really a challenge to prepare for your own wedding but hey you're happy right so no problem! I was just looking around and thinking if what kind of http://papermilldirect.co.uk/card is good for invitations since I want to make it look more of a DIY wedding.

It's up to you. Anything thick enough to stand up when folded is fine, then it's your choice of colour and texture. Only thing to note is you may need to print on it, which may require some sort of white paper insert or item stuck on the front too.
