How much on invites?

I was wondering if anyone else got pocketfolds, and if so, how much you spent on them? These are the ones that i'm looking at. TIA

Are you asking about price for them assembled or diy?

This pricing stuff gets complicated LOL...b/c everyone does it differently!

This is the one thing that i wanted someone else to just do for me, so i'm looking at having them come all printed and assembled.

I need 125 of them, so my quote is for $770 (which includes the folder, the invite, the tab on the outside, rsvp, direction, reception, and hotel cards). That's with a 20% discount and no tax b/c it's a family friend. It just still seems really high, so that's why i'm curious what everyone else is spending!

I think that sounds high but I know pocketfolds are pretty expensive. They are very pretty.

Pocketfolds are SO expensive! Here's a breakdown of the cost - I decided to DIY - this is from FM I sent another girl:

I purchased everything at The Paper Source in Boston, MA. They don't have any stores in NY, but I have a friend who lives in MA (she's actually in my BP) and I visited her over the Columbus Day weekend and we went then. Here's a breakdown of the cost:

(All itms were discounted 10% since I purchased more than 10 packs - each pack contains 10)

1. Pocketfolders - $9.23 each
2. Envelopes - $3.82
3. Enclosure Card (This is what I'm mounting my printed invites to - it's black) - $4.50
4. Ream of 8.5x11 paper for printing invites and enclosures - $26.00
5. Response Card Envelopes - $2.70
6. Fancy paper for band around pocketfolder - $1.95 per sheet (I bought 21)
7. Satin ribbon for tying around fancy paper - $3.50 (I bought 7)

Grand total = $334.64 for 125 of everything

Hope this helps! You can visit them online at the following link:

OMG, you are doing an amazing job! This is the one thing that i just didn't want to DIY because i know it's so time intensive, and i'm extremely impatient!

Re: How much on invites?

Thank you everyone for your input / help. I'm actually talking to Tessa now, and she is doing me a huge favor by squeezing me in!

This is all my fault b/c i should have done research beforehand, but i was set on using this family member. I feel terrible telling her NO, but it's too much money, and it's not exactly what i want either.

Re: How much on invites?

I sell invites and the pocket folds are the most expense of them all!!!! I think diy may be a little cheaper, but also time consuming...

Around $700 sounds right Jamie...You're getting close homegirl!!! Good luck with the invites, I'm not doing pocketfolds, so I can't help! But I am using Tessa, and she's amazing, so I'm sure she will come up with something spectacular!! Lemme know I can help you with anything darling!!!

Go you! I never understood the purpose of spending a ridiculous amount on them. They just end up in the trash.
