My aunt's birthday invite blunder changed my font game
I was helping my aunt with her 50th birthday party invites last month. She used Papyrus for the main text and Courier New for the details. It looked like a mix of ancient Egypt and a typewriter. When guests got the cards, some joked it was hard to read. It was awkward but we fixed it together. I suggested using Lato for the body and a fancy script for her name. The new version was so much better and everyone loved it. Now I see how important pairing is, even for personal projects.

Papyrus and Courier? Try a clean sans with a simple serif instead.

Feel you, iris_park, my best deliveries always happen after I've given up hope and those packages finally show up.
