The hardest part about creating invitations (for me, at least) is selecting the fonts. Finding the perfect font to convey the unique style of the invite drives me batty sometimes. With something like 2 or 3 kajillion free fonts available on the internets (I have about half a kajillion of them myself) narrowing down what’s right can be downright daunting.

Here are 10 free fonts that are perfect for invitations and other wedding stationery. They were chosen based on (a) readability, (b) scalability (they look good in small & large fonts), (c) not overused in the industry, and (d) overall style.

1 . Wedding Script Bail

2. Day Roman

3. Cursif Font

4. ParmaPetit

5. Same-Sex Marriage Script

6. Optimus Princeps

7. Regency Script FLF

8. Geo Sans Light

9. Francisco Lucas Briosa

10. Henry Morgan Hand
