Cards & Pockets 'Print Shop'

Did anyone have cards and pockets print their invitations for them? How is the quality? Anyone have an idea of the pricing? I just sent in for a quote but i'm impatient and it says it takes two days! lol!

Cards & Pockets

I did not use them for printing as I was fortunate enough to be able to print from home. However, they are very reasonable and do not be surprise if you hear from them by tomorrow.

They were amazing to work with. I had the proof in my hand in three days and the invites were in hand within 48 hours of ordering and I did not pay for overnight. The quality is gorgeous. I am attaching link to final product.

I ordered sample paper swatches and they came in two days free shipping! Did you find the pricing reasonable? I am so glad you had such a good experience- beautiful invitations!!!

Cards & Pockets

180 Invites, 180 RSVP Cards, 180 Direction Cards, and 180 Reception Cards came out to $360. My envelopes (both outer and Rsvp were 60 combined) I was way under budget for invites and I am so happy that I went that route. They were a pleasure to work with.

Cards & Pockets

EXACTLY!!! I had 1500 set aside and with everything, including stamps for inner and outer (which hurt my soul a bit), came out to about 600 total. I was beside myself. In the last 15 months of being engaged, I think that was the first time that I actually stayed UNDER budget!! Lol

Cards & Pockets

What is cards and pockets? I just went to the web site and I love the envelopes but am confused. Do you design your own invitation or have someone design one for you and they print it? Would love to know! Trying to cut corners every way I can!

Cards & Pockets

For me personally, I had someone design it and then Cards and Pockets prints it. They are super easy to work with and have a billion and a half options. This is def. the route you should go if you are looking to cut costs. Invitations add up so quickly.

Can they design it for you? How did you find someone to design your invitation?

Can2Cam, your invites are gorgeous!!! LOVE the style and font! Did you do the lace, twine and flower yourself? Or did cardsandpockets assemble everything for you? I didn't see the lace on their website

I wish!!! Twine, lace (thick paper doile) and flower were all me and it was BRUTAL! Lol. But got it done and was so happy with the final result. Thank you so much for the kind words. Makes me feel less bad about the days I spent putting them together haha

Re: Cards & Pockets 'Print Shop'

I also used cards & pockets and they were fantastic! Super reasonable and helpful every step of the way. They were so helpful that I went back to them to have them print our donation favor cards and menu cards. I designed everything myself, they do not have a design department. They can only print your art - think of it like they print a picture of your art - they can't change fonts, sizes, etc. But they are very helpful in helping you get it just right. I am by no means a computer whiz but I used MS Word and Powerpoint and designed everything myself. I added all the ribbon myself - which was time consuming and painstaking but an invitation shop near my house wanted to charge around $10 per set for something like this and I was NOT paying that much. Saved me a ton and I've gotten sooo many compliments so far. I uploaded pictures to an album on my profile. Good luck!
