    I bought these wonderful simply DIY kit from Michaels. I was overwhelmed at the process and had been putting it off, but today decided to bite the bullet. The directions said to go on the invitation company's website, put in the SKU, and then download and print. 

    What they didn't tell you is that the beautiful font featured on the outside of the package isn't the standard font for the download. And now I'm struggling to figure out what I want to use, and what is compatible. I think I'm going to scream.

    @SweetRose2011: Sorry you're frustrated.  How much for the font they had on the package?

    @RR:oh I have no idea what font they used, I just went online, found free fonts that go with out theme, and I love it for our names, but I have no idea what to use for the main font now. The one on the outside of the package was just an example, ya know?

    Wow, that's is obnoxious. I am sorry. I am sure they will look beautiful with what ever font you decide to use.

    I got those invites from Michaels and I found out that the example lettering they use is Bickham Script and Adobe Garamond Small Caps. The equivalents of these fonts for Microsoft Word are Garamond with the "small caps" option activated, and Beautiful ES.

    Yes those kits are frustrating!! The template should have the font the example shows.

    I hope you don't stress too much figuring it out!
