Some of the most meaningful words in a wedding are never printed on an invitation. Dreams Note is an intimate handwritten font for vow cards and love letters. This guide covers layouts that are easy to read aloud and a morning-of ritual worth keeping.
The case for written words
A printed vow card or letter is a private object in a public day. It is something to hold, to read, to keep and to reread. The lettering should feel as personal as the words.
Handwritten-style type suits short lines. For longer passages, a simple serif is easier on the eye.
A vow card that is easy to read aloud
- Choose a card size around A6 or 4 x 6 inches.
- Set the text large, because nerves and emotion make small type difficult to read.
- Use short lines and clear line breaks at natural pauses.
- Add a title in Dreams Note, such as My Vows, at the top.
- Print a spare copy in case one is lost or smudged.
A morning-of letter ritual
Many couples exchange private letters before the ceremony and read them alone. It slows the morning down and gives both partners a moment of calm.
Keep the letter short and sincere. Seal it in an envelope lettered with the recipient's name and hand it over before the day begins.
Prompts for writing from the heart
- The first moment you knew something was different.
- A small habit of theirs that you love.
- A promise you intend to keep.
- A memory you cannot wait to make together.
