SAMPLE #1: Our DIY Pocketfold Invites (w/ pics)!!!

Original post by CaMacho

Thread views: 10,168

What do you think??

We are already thinking of making a few changes... not sure I like the black thick line going around the direction & accom cards. Maybe a thinner line or a double line? Also, not sure of the bow we chose for the outside, maybe a thicker bow?








Tissue paper w/ our pic printed on it... hard to get a good pic of it.







ETA: Instructions/supplies!

I won't lie... it's a PITA, but we saved over $500 by doing them ourselves!!
We got the white invite cards & response cards from exclusivelyweddings.com.
Pocketfolds are from invitesbyyou.com.
We got the cardstockpaper (accom cards & Directions) from Staples and cut them to size w/ a paper cutter.
Ribbon & glue is from Michael's.

they look great!!!! I think the ribbon is to thin I think it would look better with a thicker ribbon



Thanks! Yea, I should have bought a few diff kinds of ribbon to see which looks best. I'm going to check out Michael's to see what other kinds they have.

Anywhere else I can look for ribbon in nassau besides AC Moorea and Michaels?

Love the invites and I'm beginning to really like the pocketfold type invites. How did you print your pic on the tissue paper....great idea!

okay seriously... they're so pretty that i'm wondering if i could do that because i like them so much. Stupid question, but did you just print them on your computer printer? How did you do the invitation part with the initial and all? I feel like i wouldn't know where to start!!!

Please help!

Yes, FH designed them in photoshop and fed the invite through the printer. I think he just used a very light pink for the C in the background and that's how it came out. He's really good w/ photoshop, so i'm not sure. We have an epson and it prints really well.

Thanks!! FH took one of our e-pics, put it in photoshop and faded it. Then he printed them on the tissue paper through our printer.

He designed it in photoshop and printed a few on a page (cardstock paper)... then we cut them down to size and pasted them on the outside (top flap) of the pocketfold.
