How did you dress up VERY plain cardstock for pocketfold invitations?

Just curious?

I was going to use a metallic cardstock for my pocketfolds, but I found it wrinkles WAY too easily, and then looks cheap.

The plain, burgundy cardstock I was going to do looks, well, PLAIN. I think the girl who is doing my invitations will put a nice monogrammed label as a seal for the pocketfold, but I was just wondering how everyone else dressed up their pocketfold invites. Can I see what everyone's pocketfolds look like CLOSED?

Thank you!

I'll try to post a pic later, but mine was a light green color with a seal. I guess you might call it 'plain' but we got tons of compliments~

very pretty! Did you find that Gold metallic wrinkled? The garnet wrinkles VERY easily, but it definitely looks more attractive than the bland, construction paper looking burgundy non-metallic cardstock. I can't believe how long it's taking me to make this decicision. I just don't want the invitations arriving to my guests wrinkled.

I LOVE how your invitations looked! Mine will look similar, but in the 7x7 size. I LOVE pocketfolds!
