It’s a very nice invitation. Feedback:

1. I don’t think you need both a sans and a serif font to pair with Ministry. Just use the Serif.

2. on the front I’d put the location and date in the serif font. Just leave your names in Ministry. Ministry doesn’t read easily at such a small size and the cover will look more balanced.

3. The serif type on the back looks just a little tight - maybe open the leading a point? I’m not sure you need “Wedding Ceremony” either. If you remove that you can open up the rest of the type.

4. Don’t you need “to” in between the names on the back?

I like this “as is”. Everything looks great. But, I think you should consider moving the address down to align with the line base “Wedding Ceremony”, basically being on top of it. Maybe “Wedding Ceremony” shouldn’t be so big. I would use only the Script and Bodoni 12.

Overall, I like it.

I disagree with pattyfab regarding your use of serif and sans fonts apart from Ministry. On the front, I do think the sans works better, but perhaps ever-so-slightly larger. I agree with pattyfab on point 2 though, the location and date are far too difficult to read at that size, try replacing with the sans font.

On the insert, I think the periods after Mr and Mrs look jarring, but maybe that’s just because I’ve been reading the Economist lately... I don’t know if it’s okay to omit the period. I am American, and I know the convention here is to have the period after Mr and Mrs, but I think it would look better without. Maybe someone else will comment.

Thanks so much for your feedback everyone. Points very well taken and I agree with them all. I’ll fine-tune and repost within a few days. Thanks again.

I like Bodoni with Ministry. Like some others here, I don’t see the need for Frutiger.

Might it be possible to use some of the alternates in Ministry to vary the look of the names between the cover and the interior? I don’t have it, but I understand there are quite a few alternates and ligatures, and you might be able to get a more hand lettered look if you explore a bit. For example, the sample at Veer seems to show a “er” ligature, or at least a contextual alternate “e”, which you’re not using.

I don’t understand why you set all the Bodoni in small caps... I think upper and lower case would be more readable and more pleasant, especially because I find the caps too big with the smallcaps. It might be just the screen shot, but the cap “M” in Mr. and Mrs. seem disproportionately large. If you do stay with the smallcaps, I’d at least use the UC ampersand in “Resort & Spa”. To my eye a small ampersand looks out of place in a mixed line like that.

I don’t mind the Bodoni small caps but agree that the caps look too large. Can you run it in all small caps?
