Pairing your fonts together

Mix and match fonts to create impact and sophistication

Pairing your fonts together for wedding invitations can be a daunting task, but it's also an opportunity to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your wedding stationery. Here are some tips and tricks to help you choose the best Canva fonts for wedding invitations and create the perfect font pairings.

Choose a Hero Font

When starting your wedding invitation design, it's important to choose a "hero" font. This will be the primary font that you use throughout the invitation. Make sure the font is legible, aesthetically pleasing, and reflects the overall theme and style of your wedding.

Pairing Fonts with Similar Visual Weight
When selecting a second font to pair with your hero font, try to choose a font with a similar visual weight. This will help your fonts look balanced together and create a cohesive design. For example, if your hero font is a bold serif font, consider pairing it with a thinner sans-serif font. Alternatively, you can experiment with only using one font but using different sizes, weights, and styles of the same font to create more visual interest.

Script and Sans-Serif Fonts Pairing
Script fonts are a popular choice for wedding invitations, but they can be difficult to read if used in large blocks of text. If you choose to use a script font for your hero font, consider pairing it with a sans-serif font for the secondary font. The contrast between the two fonts will help make the text easier to read while still maintaining an elegant and sophisticated look.

Limit the Number of Fonts Used
While it may be tempting to use a variety of fonts to create visual interest, it's important to limit the number of fonts used in your wedding invitations. Two fonts are generally sufficient for most designs. If you find you are looking for more variation, try italicizing one of the fonts to add more difference.

Experiment with Font Pairings
The best way to find the perfect font pairing for your wedding invitation is to experiment with different fonts, sizes, and styles. Canva offers a wide selection of beautiful fonts, but you can also find inspiration from other sources such as wedding blogs or design inspiration websites. Don't be afraid to try new font combinations and experiment with different styles until you find the perfect combination that reflects your wedding style and personality.
