Rehearsal Dinner Invitation

Fonts.  I absolutely love fonts.  I read a lot of different things online about how to make your wedding unique and special and personalized.  I 100% feel that fonts and creativity are the way to do this!  

In this project I used: Octin Vintage, Janda Stylish Script, {skinny} jeans solid,  Intro Inline, Throw My Hands Up In the Air, Janda Celebration Script, Bohemian typewriter, FFF Tusj.  There are TONS of free fonts out there.  I would just download a bunch of free fonts and play with them until I had something I liked.

I started working on our program within two months of getting engaged.  I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to tweak it and make it exactly as I had imagined.  Matt had to look at all 20+ versions I created and pretend that each one looked different from the one before!

When it came to the rehearsal dinner invitations, I was going to order something online.  I found really cute ones online, but either the font, or type of invitation wasn’t what I wanted.  I decided to make my own!  It was fun – did not take that long and was something I was pretty proud of!  The hardest part was formatting.  I realized that I had to complete certain blocks of text first, and others last (the Stacy and Matt script was difficult!  I kept cutting off the pretty swirls!)

Here is what I ended up with:





Click this link if you would like the editable version.  I used Microsoft Word for this project.


The best thing for me was printing it out!  I would think it is perfect and then once I printed it out I realized I cut off a letter or something.


I did not print these at home.  Instead I took them to Staples or someplace and had them printed on super strong paper.  I cut them myself and then mailed them out.

I loved this little project.  Again, it was all about the FONTS!
