Cards & Pockets

Does Cards and Pockets print with thermography as well or just flat print? I've fallen in love with thermography for our invites but doesn't seem like many places do it that are still affordable!

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!




Those are so gorgeous! I love them! I give you so much credit creating them yourself. How did you know if it would fit and be centered and whatnot?

Thank you! Obviously navy and ivory are our colors btw. It was a process, I'm not gonna lie. I started with a bunch of samples from C&P - colors, card stock, monogram square, the pocket. Then i made a few practice sizes at work, measured and sized the insert cards exactly how i wanted it so that you would only see the 'tab' writing when they were layered in the pocket. I measured the ribbon i wanted to use and made sure to leave room for that and spaced everything out. Then once I was happy, i had C&P send me hard proofs of everything - proofs were like $7 or something inexpensive. After I approved the proofs, they printed and shipped fast and easy and then it took me a while to glue on all the ribbon but in the end, I think it was totally worth it. :)

Cards & Pockets

I finally was able to upload my invitations to an album if your interested. My MOH used cards and pockets for her invites as well and I could not be happier. It was so affordable and I love the fact it was a DIY project. Don't get me wrong, this project drove me nuts but at the end of the day it was all worth it!

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!



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.



Your invitations are beautiful! Looks like someone maybe starting there own wedding planning business!
