    I've been working on my wedding invitations and programs, and have just finished making a sample for my wedding invitations. Everybody loves the design, but not the font. I have been playing with fonts all day and I can't make up my mind.

    Which font did you use or would you use?

    And did you use the same font for everything? (Programs, wedding invitations, etc)

    I used Phaeton, Rosewood and Neutra Text. Not really "classic" wedding fonts, I guess. I used the same three fonts for everything.

    I can't remember the fonts I used, but I used two different fonts for the invites (including the inserts).  And tried to keep similar fonts on the STD's.  

    Basic rule of thumb for graphic art is less is better.  Typically no more than two or three max (at least, that's what my instructors said...).  

    That doesn't mean you can't bold, italics, etc. the two or three fonts you want to use, though. :)

    Are you looking for serif, sans serif or script? Here's what we used...

    Save the Dates- Mrs. Eaves Roman

    Programs- Copperplate Gothic

    Not sure what font my actual invitations were because I bought them on Etsy- http://www.etsy.com/shop/baumbirdy?page=1
