Re: Ali - Coldasice...
I'm getting a TON of comments! All wonderful! A lot of people have never seen pocketfolds before, so they're really impressed...and everyone loves the colors and how it's so vivid and how wedding invitations are usually just white or ivory or blah (coming from older folks), but mine is so different and beautiful. And yours are so vivid too! I'm really so happy with how they came out.

It's funny because being on this site... I see them ALL The time!! But I forget that my guests aren't on here seeing them all the time... so pocketfolds are still new for most people!!
I gotta post pics of the final invite. My pics are all sample ones. The final is way nicer than the sample!! I LOVE MY INVITES!!!!

Re: Ali - Coldasice...
I certainly NEED to see pics of yours!!! The color scheme sounds amazing!!! Are you doing anything for midnight???
I had NO PROBLEMS with her whatsoever. The ONLY slight 'hiccup' (hee hee I LOVE that!!)... was AFTER I received all my invitations and needed something extra sent... there was a slight delay... BUT in her defense... she got tied up with some wedding stationary with a deadline. And being that she was PHENOMINAL throughout the process, I can't say much about that one SMALL thing. She got back to me quickly on things... communication was just terrific!! I had fun emailing back and forth with her!! We would even talk about stupid stuff!! I can't wait to do a review on her!!!

Re: Ali - Coldasice...
So smart Ali, hehe. The proof online has glitter on the edges which I didn't move forward with. T also saved us a little $$ by merging our reception and accomodation card on one. At first I was nervous it wouldn't look right but she NAILED it!!
As for the night of.. yup we're going to do something a little special at midnight. We're going to have party horns/ hats/ tiaras/ noisemakers passed around on silver trays around 11:30/11:45 and then a second champagne toast at midnight. From that point forward we go full on into party mode!! WOW I just got sooo excited, first time I wrote that all out

That's soo cute!! I LOVE how they are being passed around on silver trays!!! So fun and elegant!! What time does your party end? Sounds like a lot of fun!!!
My way of cutting costs was to still have everything I wanted but to do it myself. So I HAD to have the glitter AND crystals... so I saved like 300 dollars to put that all on myself. And also I did the layering too. It was fun actually!! I like to be crafty!! Then I added the ribbon on the outside to the order (she actually put the ribbon on for me - I wasn't messign with that).
I think I got everything she did! Ribbon, crystals and glitter with all the pocketfolds - but doing it myself saved me the money. She sent me the materials... so I still paid for that part. I'm a sucker for any sales person!!

Re: Ali - Coldasice...
The party ends at 1:30
That is SOOO smart Kerri. If I had the time and was crafty I would totally want to attempt the same thing (I no joke get a high off saving money ) but between work and school I just decided I couldn't handle any DIY.
I bet your look just as incredible as if T made them herself!!
