One of our favorite DIY wedding secret weapons? Creative Fabrica — an online treasure chest of fonts (and so much more!) that you can download and use in your wedding designs, including Cricut projects. So consider us your font-obsessed bestie because we're sharing how to find the perfect font match, bring it into Cricut Design Space, and make sure it looks gorgeous from "save the date" to "happily ever after."
Find Your Wedding Style in Font Form
Before you start scrolling through thousands of fonts, think about your overall wedding style. If you dream of:Classic & Romantic, then look for flowing scripts with elegant swashes.
Modern & Minimal, then search for sleek sans serifs or clean serif fonts with high contrast.
Whimsical & Fun, then seek out hand-lettered scripts, playful flourishes, or quirky serifs.
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to finding a font that you love. Of course, there are design practices that make things more pleasant to the eye and give that wow factor, but at the end of the day, go for what makes your heart sing and represents your wedding vibe.
If you're using your fonts with your Cricut machine and you want to know what works best, we literally wrote the article for that to help you! So check out our Ultimate Guide to the Best Wedding Fonts for Cricut Machines to get more insight.
💡 PRO TIP: Use no more than two or three fonts in your whole wedding suite. One for big headlines (like your names), one for the main details, and possibly a small accent for things like table numbers or signage.
Download Your Fonts from Creative Fabrica
Once you find "the one" (or the perfect pair), download the font files from Creative Fabrica. Most come as .OTF or .TTF files — both will work, but OTFs often have extra stylistic touches like alternate letters or pretty swashes.You can also 'favorite' your font finds as well as located your downloads under My Downloads if you're still in the research or creative gathering stage.
Install & Use Your Fonts in Cricut Design Space
Ready to get crafting? Getting your new font into Design Space is simple. Just install the font on your computer. (If using a smartphone or tablet, you'll need to look up instructions specific to your device on how to install and use fonts. It can be a little fiddly, but it's not impossible!) After you've installed, open Cricut Design Space so you can see the new font on your Canvas screen.When adding text in Design Space, click the Text icon, choose System Fonts, and scroll until you see your new font name. If your font includes special characters or alternates, you may need to use your computer's character map or a glyphs panel in a design program to access them before creating your design in Design Space.
Design Tips for Picture-Perfect Cricut Wedding Projects
• Test your font size: Thin script strokes can disappear when cut too small. Keep scripts bigger for names and headlines.• Delicate fonts are best for print-only: Avoid textured or really thin, delicate fonts for any cutting projects. Keep these to your Print Then Cut designs if using a Cricut machine.
• Mind your paper or material: Textured cardstocks can make fine lines tricky; smoother materials keep details crisp, especially when using the draw functionality with your Cricut.
• Unite your letters: For connected scripts, use Design Space's Unite tool so letters cut as one smooth shape instead of in little pieces.
• Keep swashes safe: Long flourishes look gorgeous printed but may be too delicate for vinyl or cardstock cuts, so do a test cut first or save them for invitations or signs that are printed rather than cut.
💡 PRO TIP: In Design Space, Unite and Weld essentially do the same thing. The biggest difference is that Unite can be edited afterwards while Weld makes your design permanent. For batch-making wedding DIYs, we recommend sticking with Unite just in case you need to adjust something or make something different closer to the wedding day.
Where to Use Your Fonts
Once you've got your dream wedding fonts, the DIY possibilities are endless for where you can get creative with them for the big day. Consider these stationery and signage details:• Invitations and Save-the-Dates
• Ceremony programs
• Welcome signs
• Seating charts
• Escort cards or place cards
• Table numbers
• Menu cards
• Personalized wedding favors
If you're feeling extra matchy-matchy, you can even bring the same fonts into your wedding website or handmade wedding cards for that perfectly tied-together look.
