    I love scriptina (as do A LOT of companies, brides right now!) but I am having an issue with using it to address my invitations.

    I wanted to use it for the names on our addresses, but because it is so "loopy" the space in between lines is HUGE.  So, this doesn't become an issue until I have an invite that has multiple lines of guests (for example, families with children, we've listed their names on a second line).  The spacing in between these lines (to allow for the loveliness of scriptina) looks kinda weird.

    So, I thought about just having the first line be in Scriptina, and the rest in the normal font we choose..which means those family invites have the childrens names in a normal font....do you think these kids will notice?

    What should I do?  Find another font?

    I would do everything in a serif font.

    Hmmm...personally I'd think having two different fonts would look funny. But i'm the type of person who doesn't like to mix fonts much. I used dafont.com's Jane Austen font to address my STDs and almost everyone thinks I wrote the addresses and names our by hand! :) Its not loopy the way Scriptina is, but its still a very beautiful font!

    Good luck! Fonts can be a stresser!

    @Rabbit omg I "signed" our save the dates with that and my mom thought I hand signed them, never mind that they're NOT my handwriting!

    Yeah, I suggest ONE font, unfortunately. It would make the second set of names look more cohesive!

    what program are you using? just about every program out there is able to decresase the spacing between lines.  i love that font as well, so i would suggest using that for names, a serif for the address and just decrease the spacing if the names go onto two lines.

    I have the addresses in mail merge in Word 2007.

    I might try another font...and see what happens when it's all the same!
