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!♡
