TEN BEST PLACE CARD FONTS

Friends and family are gathering soon for feasts, so I thought in honor of Thanksgiving, I'd share a few of my favorite fonts for place cards. Font Fridays have been a regular thing around here, but with Pinterest font collections being all the rage, I thought for the Holidays I'll add a few of my choice collections. I have covered a few of these before, but this is a happy little reminder of those fonts you loved but can't remember all in one place. I tried to gather a bunch of cheap or even FREE fonts that you can use for your next get together. In this collection I have a few handwritten fonts so if your handlettering skills are lacking (like mine are) you can still have fun or beautiful place cards. I usually print black on kraft card stock when I use handlettered fonts and it just works brilliantly. Be sure to print on the best quality setting on your printer to make it really pop and look handmade.

I also wanted to include a few clean and modern fonts because they look wonderful at a simple gathering. When in doubt, KISS. (love that) Keep it simple...If you set the table with white dishes, beautiful flowers in a single tone and pretty linen napkins, all you need is a simple placecard. Place these great modern fonts atop each place setting and be done with it. Once you get the hang of it, Thanksgiving is really easy. My secret? Make what counts and fake the rest.

Get these fonts: LANDLIEBE // SULLIVAN // BEBAS NEUE // AGUAS FRESCAS // VENEER // MONBIJOUX // AMARILLO USAF // FRYKAS // ARCHIVE TILT // MVB EMMASCRIPT // FRONTAGE OUTLINE (bonus!)

Do you have any fonts that you ALWAYS use for place cards?

FUN HANDWRITTEN FONT: FRYKAS

Happy Font Friday! I have a really cool font that is on super sale (read: 90% off) and I just got it for some free printables I am working on for you.  FRYKAS is a great little handwritten font that looks amazing in all caps. I really love the little asterisk. I have a thing for clean handwriting and I know you can handdraw your own font or even draw and scan it in...but who has that kind of time? Not me. I am a sucker for anything $10 and under that will let me get back to my life instead of sitting in front of a computer all day.

Lots of handwritten fonts are pretty similar, what makes Frykas special is that it has a cool outline version and a bold version. I know you can do thiswith a regular font in Illustrator, but if you don't have it, this is your ticket to awesome.

I have a question for you. Do you like Font Friday every week or would less often (every 2 or 3 weeks) with a round up of a bunch of fonts be better?

Don't forget my font loving friends and have one heck of a FABULOUS FRIDAY!

ps. I am so sorry for the bright yellow so early in the morning. I have a headache to boot and wham, that yellow really gets you. It's a sad thing about yellow, that such a happy color is so wonky on the web. I love bright colors and it is just one that I avoid because of the glow.
