Berry,
I would never use illegal fonts
You understand, of course, that this is a sensitive subject in this Adobe-built forum.
You might also look at Bickham Script (which has decorative swash initials, alternate characters and flourishes), more traditional Palace Script, or even Zapfino for something completely different and beautiful.
But, be careful with scripts. They're fairly delicate and don't stand up too well to textured stock or reversing out of a background. And they are not terribly readable in small sizes -- which, if the size is just 5"x5" could be an issue (actually, this is quite small for an invitation), as a lot of line spacing has to be used to allow for the long ascenders and descenders. Scripts also demand a lot of air around them, including the margins -- confine them and they can look terrible.
Also, a square envelope or mailer is not a favorite for the post office, and, combined with its small size, may not be mailable or at the least, it would be subject to a mailing surcharge. Check before you print and mail these.
