Give the headline the heavy treatment and leave dates and instructions to a calmer companion.
The same short heading is set at one em size and then repeated with measured x outlines aligned. The lower case size changes even though the wording stays fixed.
In the supplied outlines, x measures 0.472 em in Birthday Candle Caps and 0.578 em in Alumni Roman. At 64px the x outlines are about 30.2px and 37.0px; the final Alumni Roman line is reduced to 52.263px to match the first outline. The large caps and stroke treatments still differ.

The two g forms share a 112px em size; H and S from Birthday Candle Caps are included as additional shape samples.
The H and S are single-font glyph samples. The g rows compare the filled Birthday Candle Caps form with Alumni Roman’s outlined treatment.

The short message is set in the rounded display face; the date and invitation line use a quieter companion serif.

About
Birthday Candle Caps's lowercase x reaches 67.9% of the capital height, close to the 67.9% median for display fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l stop at 96% of the capital height, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 24.4% of the cap height below the baseline. The o is close to a circle, 1.00 times as wide as it is tall, and N is the widest capital, at 1.13 times the width of H. The O stops 4.7% of the cap height short of H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.
The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Vertical stems measure 21.2% of the cap height. The contrast is mild: the sides of o and O are 1.36 times as thick as their tops and bottoms.
Its 333 characters include 290 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 238 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 45.9% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 13.1% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Birthday Candle Caps will not line up exactly.
