DIY Pocket Folds ?

For those who did DIY pocket fold invites, with all the inserts... How much did each invite cost to make?

Mine came to about $3.50 with the postage (postcard stamp for RSVP, square pocketfolds).

it depends on the type of pocketfold you use.
the pocketfolds themselves can be as cheap as $1.00. I am however paying $1.69 per pocketfold cuz it is metallic.
SO there is the pocketfold, plus the invitation mats, invitation border paper, inserts, envelopes etc.
Its costing me under $200 to make 70 invites.

I am getting pf from envelopme.com and I got the paper pre cut on sale (another comp. that went out of buiness)

I think it could be cheaper though

I just finished doing all my research last night. It's really hard to figure out but I'd say approximately $1.50? The pocketfolds are the most espensive part but I am folding my own at .46 a piece! SCORE!

AHHH...doesn't include stamps!

i bought my pocket folds for $18 for a pack of 25
my invites were $95 for 125 (i bought printed ones from Invites by Dawn)
my RSVP cards and Reception cards were 'free' from Vistaprint. I paid $4.95 to upload a custom design for each and then paid less than $50 on shipping for all of them.

the backing was .59 each, and i could make 2 from each pieces

we spent $14 on ribbon

$19 on 500 envelopes (we'll only use 110)

so...
what does that come to per invite lol?

$2.09 an invite? about....?

Thanks.
Have you guys priced out making your menu's, place cards, and programs?
This is all so confusing!!

Not sure if i am doing programs. Not having a mass so I don't think it's necessary

Menus will be printed on cardstock panels. I'm making one menu per couple so I'll need about 100 menus = 50 pieces of cardstock.

I will be printing my placecards. I bought an invitation kit from Staples which included the placecards. The kit was $13.99 on clearance...I'd go and check it out...so worth it to use for inserts, RSVP's and placecards

I think it fell around $300-$350 for 140. I had my invite mounted on backing and 4 inserts.
