Another pocketfold invite question

Hi Girls,

I am planning on doing my own pocketfold invites. I havent bought anything yet so I dont know what they will weigh. Does anyone know about how much it costs for postage? I am not doing an inner envelope....just the invite (no border) 4 cards and ribbon on the pocket folder.

I am doing the rectangle (I know square is more$)

TIA!

Depending on the weight of the cardstock and everything, my guess is you will probably be on the brink of the $.41 stamp (up to 1oz). If you are over the 1oz it won't be by much. It really depends on the specific materials you use...I've done some for girls that just need the $.41 and some need the $.58 or more. Best thing to do is do a sample and then get it weighed. Stupid postage!

Thanks. I have to finalize my BM colors before I do a full sample. I just wanna get these things done already, but I know that if I buy all the stuff, I will change my colors..lol

Did you do both inner and outer envelopes, or do I just need the regular outer. And, does it look bad if they arent lined or should I splurge on lined?

I just sent mine out... I did the pocketfold, mat, invite, and three inserts.... ribbon and monogram on cardstock and it cost me $.58 which made me happy cuz I was thinking it was going to be alot more. Pics are in my album of what they look like so you can get an idea.
