I think it needs to be a clean sans serif to balance it out. Univers, Franklin Gothic, etc.
Try Minion Pro? It's a nice serifed typeface that usually lends itself well to all kinds of other typefaces.
This is definitely a display font, so you could also use it for headings on your other stationery pieces. (Example: "Your Response Please" on an RSVP card, "Menu" on your menus, etc.) I would shy away from using it in the body of your cards, as it may be a challenge to read in large blocks of text.
Because this font is so bold & intense, I think thinline sans serif fonts are your best bet for harmony. Think clean & simple. Contrast (bold vs. light, script vs. sans serif) will highlight both fonts & look pleasing to the eye. Offhand, I'd suggest District Thin, Gotham Light, Orator, or Raleway. If you are leaning more towards a serif font, St Marie might work.
@MagpiePaperWorks: It'd still be okay for our names though, right? I'll check out the fonts you suggested--I think you're right about the thinner fonts, because regular sans serifs just don't look right.

What font would go with this one? FH wants to use it for our names (and possibly the date as well), but I'm at a loss for what other fonts would go with it (that are easier to read). He hates all-caps fonts, so those are totally out.
The font in question is Hurricane from dafont.com, by the way. :)
In addition, where else might I use Hurricane?
Our wording is something like this:
Statutory Grape & Mr. Grape request the pleasure of your company at their union on Saturday, December 11, 2010, at 00 PM
Blank City Courthouse
Street address
City City, state
Reception to follow at Restaurant
