Need Font Advice

So, I bought this great addressing program - addx.pro - and it allows me to make lots of different style choices.  I know that I want to do formal for the outside envelope, and informal for the inside envelope.  However, I have a couple of questions I could really use some help with:

1. Looking at their site, there are lots of options.  I really like the idea of having two different fonts for the name and address.  What do you all think? 

2. I am trying to decide if the first font and the second font should be similar, or really different (like the address in a really plain script, after a flowery name script...)

3. I had hoped to show you the fonts I am considering, but when I copy them into this discussion box, they revert to a plain font.  You can look at them on the site, if you are inclined (www.addx.pro) - you can play with the styles and look at the fonts under "Set Style".

The fonts I am considering:
For Names: Parchment, Vilvaldi or Nuptial (it doesn't look as good in the font box as it does on the actual envelope...)
For Addresses: Arial, Vivaldi, Prisina

Any thoughts or input will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

    I like mixed fonts.  Use Bec's advice - one scripty one, one non-scripty one.  I used Passions Conflict and Minerva Small Caps.  They worked out very well together!  PIB.

    How did you get those fonts to show up here on the boards?!  They look great!

    So, thanks so much for the advice.  I am still playing with the options (I LOVE this program - it allows me to mix and match, but it knows the etiquette AND I only have to enter the names and addresses once, but I can mix and match the styles and fonts for my wedding and future events.)

    Also, any additional advice about which two fonts to use are super appreciated!

    It's an image -- typed them in PS and saved it as a jpg.

    As far as which to choose -- which is your favorite? which goes best with the style you want to have? Choose your script and then choose a block that supports it. FWIW, I don't like Arial with any of the ones you've shown. It's too "eh."

    What serifed fonts does your program have?
