Wedding Invitation.
I want to write the addressee elegantly in English, like I see on foreign Instagram accounts, and give it to the guests, but...
If I focus on the design and use calligraphy or cursive writing, it’s stylish for sure, but in reality, both I and the recipient might have trouble reading it, which makes it a bit impractical.
(Let's be honest, it's already difficult to write in the first place...!)
But!!
I have a method that I think would make it easy for postal workers to read and deliver...??♡
Mix Cursive and Gothic Fonts!
The idea is to write the name part in cursive and the address part in Gothic font...♡
What postal workers mainly look at are the postcode and address.
If those are clearly written in Gothic font, I thought it might not take much trouble on their part...!?
As for the name part, the recipients will surely be able to read their name even if the font is a bit stylized.
I believe that when the delivery person reaches the mailbox, checking if the cursive name matches the nameplate won't require too much extra effort....!
Mixing cursive and Gothic fonts is a classic design technique, so it will look stylish.
By maintaining elegance while being readable and easy to deliver, it results in a win-win for everyone!♡
