Let's See Invitations!

[Sarah]

I love those pocketfold invitations Christa. I know I have seen them on here somewhere before, and wondered what that website was. Thanks for posting it! After how long it too me to make my STD's, I think I might do something like this for invites!

What I like is they have all of the components cut to size for you, you just have to do the printing & assembly. I'll post my first try when I receive the kit. This is what I'm going for, only in my colors of aqua, white & either yellow or green:

what is the pricing like on these? is there a minimum # you have to order? They are very cute and will look totally professional when you are done! Look forward to seeing your finished product.

those are very pretty, Christa. Cardsandpockets is very popular on my local knot board

Christa,

 

Those are super cute. Envelopments are super popular right now. We are actually using envelopments for part of our invitations. I went yesterday to see our proofs and then tomorrow my mom will be in town so she will see and then I will order. I should have my invitations to post in a few weeks.

BOTTLE SPIN If you're having a beach wedding and think engraved wedding invitations seem a bit washed-u, mail a message in a bottle instead. Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk and Lhotse Merriam sent each of their wedding guests a Coca-Cola bottle stuffed with an invite created to look like a treasure map... Check out www.islandweddinshops.com or www.invitationinabottle.com (here you can create a custom message that come sin a bottle with sand, shells, a cork and raffia or ribbon, then have it mailed to your guests ($39.99, 20-bottle minimun). They also offer do-it-yourself kits ($23.99, 19 bottle minimum)

What a neat idea. I wonder how much more it costs to send them. I will have to remeber this thread when it comes time to send out invites.

Sarah - suprisingly, the pricing is not bad at all. The pocketfolder I'm ordering is $1.10/each. Then the invitation mats are $8.25 per package of 25 and the invitation that you print on is also $8.25/pkg of 25. The little inserts are around the same. So overall, for 50 invites I will be spending just under $140. There is no minimum order, other than the fact that the mats & invites are sold in packages of 25.

Yeah, I think it's a nice balance between DIY and sanity maintenance!

Christa,

Let me know if you need any help with this DIY project. I got my pocketfolds from cardsandpockets.com also and did my own invite.... I sent out each and every one of them (my parents did not tell me they needed about 20, I thought they needed 5.... glad I ordered extra!), so I don't have a picture of it. But it was relatively simple to do the whole thing, especially with the inserts they provide. Cutting them to size was a simple. I got the vertical pocketfold though, not the horizontal one like you did, but should be pretty similar.
