Help finding a font

Hi girls! I am trying to find a copy of the font that is used on my invitations. When I purchased the invitations it was listed as 'houston' but I am not sure if it is called something else on the computer or what. I would like to use the same font on my programs, if i can.

Does anyone know how I might find a copy of this???

I dont think thats it, thats the only one I can find online that is a font, but... its not it.

The one I am using sorta makes me think of 'the great gatsby'. Not sure why, but its always what I think when I see it. Its not really script.

OH well, thanks for looking. When my invitations come back I will post a pic.

OK, found a picture of the font, but I am can't find it anywhere else!

The invitation company is Encore, and the name of the font is Houston 47

Have I got the solution for you. I went through the same thing and found a great site for this.

http://www.fonts.com/

Then click on 'Expert Search' next to the search for font box. Then on the next page, click on 'Search by Sight'

Then they'll start asking you a series of questions based on your font.

When you are all done, it will tell you all the fonts that match the description, and you can click on them to review them. If you find the one that it is, then you can purchase and download the font to install on your computer. My font was only $22.
