hi dreamgirl, i am like you. i am considering making my own invitations and i have just received my samples in the post today from cardsandpockets.com the quality of the paper is great. i choose the colour lagoon as i am having this colour bridesmaids dresses in a similar shade. i chose the perfetto pocketfold with floral paisley pattern used on some of the inserts. the photo's i have shown below were just a sample i ordered to see what they were like. the sample cost about $11. when i put my actual order in i will choose some things differently. Firstly, i'm going to order the envelope in lagoon, instead of the opal shade which is shown, and i'm also going to order envelope liners cos i think they look soooo cute!! i'm going to do the liners in the turquoise paisley design on a cream puff background. Above is envelope in opal and pocktfold inside in lagoon. this photo looks quite dull but you get the idea. Only thing i am worried about if getting templates for printing.
really like these!!
