MY DIY Pocketfold invitations w/PICS!!!!

I made our invitations for the wedding. I made everything from scratch except the ribbon and the main invitation with the lillies on it. The main invite has the font Avalon on it as well as on the inserts. I used Scriptina for the words direction, accomodation, reception and rsvp. I also used a regular printed font for some things to be read easier. This is where I got the fonts: fonts and templates

This is the invite all closed up. On the back, I did feed the ribbon through two slits so that the ribbon is showing in the back of the invite, and so that it comes out the side of the pocket and ties in the front.





This is the invite when you open it up with all of the inserts in it.




This is with the inserts taken out, you can see the curves I had to cut on each invite. I also had to make the pockt portion of the invite. FH works as a drafter for an architect, but they also have a draft shop, so one of the guys cut the curve that FH designed into a piece of wood. So that I could have the same curve on every single invite. We did this with an exacto knife.






These are the inserts. I found pictures online and did a washout on them, then put text boxes over the picture and had to make sure the direction, accomodation, reception and rsvp words all lined up.



Here is the rsvp envelope



Here is the outer envelope, sorry had to cover some things up, but here is the idea




If you want to know about square invites, I just bought .63 cent stamps and these are square 7.5 x 7.5 invitations.
