those are great! very pretty!
I plan on doing my own pocketfolds too, and was wondering what you did with the RSVP envelope?

I've actually been wondering how to go about that for awhile... do you just not include one, or find one the exact same size as the RSVP insert and stick it behind the insert in the pocket or what?

added a pic of the rsvp envelope for you!!!

I found the envelopes online MATCHING the same exact paper as the paper I bought for the pocketfolds...was truly luck.

Thanks!
Do you mind posting where you found the envelopes? And did you just stick it behind the instert?

I got them from paperpresentaion...bought the 4 bar envelopes. I am putting it behind all of the inserts, otherwise it will show.

FH works as a drafter for an architect, but they also have a draft shop, so one of the guys cut the curve that FH designed into a piece of wood. So that I could have the same curve on every single invite. We did this with an exacto knife.

Re: MY DIY Pocketfold invitations w/PICS!!!!

One more question... whats the difference between 'cover' cardstock and 'text' cardstock? And do you know what paper weight the cardstock for your inserts is?

this will explain paper weights to you:

paper weights

You want cover stock, text stock is what is used for like regular writing paper, very flimsy. The Cover stock is a little harder to the feel.

Also use this site, it was very helpful to me:

how to do a pocketfold

I used 60 lb cover stock from Staples for my inserts. I used 80lb cover stock for the actual pocketfold.
