Invitations of every kind, weddings, birthdays, showers, christenings, use cursive for the names and the headline and a plain face for the details. The font generator opens here with the print profile chosen so exports default to 300 DPI with a physical-size readout, and with the formal category preselected.
Set the names first
Set the names first and preview at the size they will print; capitals vary far more than lowercase between script faces. Allura reads cleaner than Great Vibes below 24 point; Parisienne and Alex Brush suit a relaxed party. Export SVG for a print shop and a transparent PNG for layouts you make yourself in Canva or Word.
Licence
The fonts are open-licence, so printing and selling invitations made with them is permitted without attribution.
Hierarchy
Set the hierarchy before you set the font. An invitation has three levels: the names, the headline (together with their families, or you are invited), and the details of date, time and place. Script belongs on the first and sometimes the second; the details should be in a plain serif or sans at a size a grandparent can read at arm's length. One script per invitation is the rule; two scripts compete.
Proof at print size
Proof at the print size. Preview the names at the exact point size they will print, not enlarged on screen, and check the capitals, the joins on doubled letters and any apostrophe in a surname. Then export the SVG for the print shop, which lets them scale and impose the design without loss, or a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background if you are laying the card out yourself. Order a single proof before the run; script faces show ink spread on textured card that a screen cannot predict.
Matching sets
Matching sets are easy once the names are exported: the same file becomes the save-the-date, the envelope-liner monogram and the thank-you card heading, so every piece shares one hand.
