I am going to make my invites myself (i am a Graphic Artist) & ordered pocketfold samples from cards-and-pockets.com

Let me say they are NICE!!!!!! A good weight....the metallic finishes are gorgeous and they are very neatly made...woohooo!

Anyone else looking for cheap but nice pocketfold, I would HIGHLY recommend them!

Here's a pic of what i ordered...small color swatches are only 50¢ each so i went a little overboard...haha

UPDATE: Ok, instead of working on my clients jobs (oops)...i just did my invite and info card layout...and of course have some pics for ya...

Printed on regular card stock paper from Office Max using a cheap HP 5150 Deskjet Inkjet printer that came free with my mac a few years back. Created in Illustrator (a design program for GA's...but you could achieve similar results in Word i think)

PS. I am NOT looking for graphics work (i have too much going on right now & am trying to focus on my photography & get away from GD) haha...just wanted to share & help inspire :)

these look amazing!!
it must be so much work!

at the end, do you save money if you do it yourself or it's something you wanted to do all along?

they really came out beautiful!

well a pack of paper is probably about $10 for 100 sheets at Staples...then factor in ink for the printer and it'll probably cost me $100 in materials...but i always knew I'd make them myself...just like doing stuff like that
