For all of you brides that have done your own Boarding Pass Invites. Help!!!


Recommended Posts

I'm attempting to do my own boarding pass invites and I would like to use metallic card stock to dress them up a bit. I went onto paper and more and when i went to purchase the metallic card stock it stated on the bottom that this cannot be used in a laser or ink jet printer sad.gif For all of you girls that have used metallic card stock for your invites, where did you buy it from?

 

I want to use metallic or a glossy cardstock for my boarding passes and metallic card stock for the ticket jacket and envelopes.

 

Oh and what size envelopes did you use? Im not sure what size to buy for the invites and for the RSVP cards.

 

 

Thank you so much!!!

I just put mine in the mail today and will post pics in a couple of days but I bought the cardstock from paper-papers. They had the best prices plus I found a coupon code online. I bought the AZALEA for the jacket and CRYSTAL for the boarding passes. I used a laser printer on the crystal cardstock and they were fine except it did curl the paper a little bit but just put something heavy on top of them and they flatten out. Also I bought A8 size for envelopes as I had a postcard as the RSVP card (only 28 cents for postage) so I had to buy a little bit bigger envelope so it would all fit.

Take a look around there are lots of places that sell metallic papers that are okay with laser printers. I know that the Stardream and Curious Metallics are okay for both injet and laser printers - assuming your printer can take the thicker paper.

 

Good luck!

For anyone who is considering purchasing your invitations please consider Rebecca. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

if your laser printer loads paper from below (the tray is below), then the cardstock will curl. If you can load your paper from outside, so it feeds straight, then the cardstock will most likely stay straight. I have a Phaser 8560 so my printer prints it fine. don't bother to try to have Kinkos print it, because they will refuse to print on metallic cardstock. You may find a local mom and pop printer, who can give u a good deal. you can bring your own paper that you already bought. just a thought if it gets too frustrating.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
