Wedding Obsession – Canadian Wedding Inspiration Blog – Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary

I am a self-labelled typography nut.

When it came down to creating my own wedding invitations, programs and other stationery, I literally spent days scrounging the internet for the perfect font. Specifically, I was looking for one that would be modern/contemporary, but still pretty and frilly enough because it was a wedding. The fact is, the right font says it all and likely it’s almost as important as the graphics or pictures you include in your stationery. It can tell a guest immediately if the wedding will be fun + laid back or black tie formal.

And while there are numerous fonts out there that you can purchase, I thought it might be nice to share some fonts I’ve come across that are FREE. We love free right?

If you’re not sure how to add a new font, there’s loads of tutorials online.

Scriptina

This is definitely one of the most popular free fonts out there for wedding invitations. A totally pretty script that’s classic, yet modern.

Dancing Script

I just came across this gem a couple weeks ago. It’s definitely one of my new favorites.

Century Gothic

Likely, your computer will already have this font. It’s my all-time favorite when it comes to making contemporary styled stationery. For my own wedding stationery, this is the font that I used, although I chose to write all my text in caps.

Freebooter

This one’s got the curls. It’s a fun and sweet font.

Carpenter Script

While I love this font, avoid using this for large amounts of text. It’s quite stretched out, so it’s often hard to read. However, if you’re using it in a large format or just for your wedding names, this is definitely a pretty one.

Splendid Ornamenty

Another pretty one for a more formal event.
