    Hello -

    Does anyone know of a font similar to the one used on the invitation in the image below that's FREE?

     http://weddings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/images/Weddings/8/88/Freefonts1.jpg

     I don't know what the actual font is but I'm guessing it isn't free and we don't have it in our budget to be paying for fonts when there are so many other costs... so I'd love to find something similar! Thanks :)

    try using this website:
    http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

    I do think it is one you can get for free, but I can't for the life of me think of what it is called

    trying to be as helpful as possible here :) Try just googling "free Fonts"  there are tons of websites wiht hundreds of free fonts that you can browse through  and download to use on your home computer for example http://www.1001freefonts.com
    and http://www.thefreesite.com/Free_Fonts/

    thers so many fonts out there youre best bet is to browse a free site for one that you like.  even a trained graphec designer can only identify somany fonts by sight ;)

    Funny story! My dads second wedding; all his reception tables were font names!  Helvetica, times new roman, Century gothic, etc..

    @SansSerif--your dad's table names may be the nerdiest thing I have ever heard.  And that is a HUGE compliment coming from me.

    I secnd ErinMarguerite with her suggestion of dafont.com. They have some of the coolest fonts there.

    And if I were a shade or two nerdier, I would TOTALLY name my tables font names! Then again, this is coming from someone who works with fonts and text and type all day at work so it might actually be appropriate. Sigh.

    You can also try

    http://www.searchfreefonts.com/

    or 

    urbanfonts.com

    You'll be amazed at the huge selection of free fonts available!  I bet you'll be able to find something similar to the one in the photo you linked.
