How to Choose Fonts That Set the Tone
Why Fonts Matter in Wedding Stationery
Typography is more than just letters — it’s mood, personality, and a preview of your big day. Before guests read a single word, the fonts you choose create an impression. Are you going for timeless elegance, chic minimalism, or something bold and playful?
At Chelsey Huff Design, we believe fonts play a huge role in making your invitation suite feel cohesive, intentional, and unforgettable.
