Showerthought: people keep saying cursive looks classy on wedding invites, but half of them can't even read it
I helped my cousin put together her wedding invites last fall in Savannah, and she picked this thin script font for the whole thing, names, date, address, everything. Her own grandmother called her two days after they went out and asked what the address said, because she flat out could not read the numbers. Then a buddy of mine got one and texted a photo asking if the venue was on "Elm" or "Eln" street. The thin strokes fade out at small sizes and the letters mash together, so it looks lovely in a big sample on screen but turns into a mess once it's printed at 4 inches wide on card stock. People keep picking these fonts for the feeling, not for whether anyone can actually read the thing, and that bugs me more than it probably should. I get wanting something pretty, but an invite is a piece of paper that has to do a job. What script fonts have you found that still look fancy but don't leave guests guessing at the details?
