Hi folks,
I'm currently setting type for address labels with the Lily Wang typeface. The name is as follows:
Robert A. Elling III
Now, since these are for wedding invites I want to know what's the most proper way and/or best way to do this. Specifically, the tile of 'the third'. So, I'm not fond of the idea of three I swash capitals but here are the other options:
iii
the third
Iii
I'm not sure how to approach this; so, if anyone has any ideas, your help is much appreciated!!!

Maybe three lowercase dotless i's, to sort of suggest small caps, although that might look like one w. Could you use a less elaborate I from a similar typeface? Some script faces have small caps that you might be able to use, although I don't know of any off the top of my head with the same copperplate cursive look. Is 3rd out of the question?
