After debating whether or not to DIY my own invites and not finding anything else that I liked, I have decided to go ahead and do my own pocketfolds
I designed my invite and insert cards, and decided on papers/colors (coco 6x6 pocketfold, sky blue accent, crystal white - aka metallic white - cardstock for invites and inserts). I just have to decide on how to use the sky blue accent (or if I should use it at all) so that I can place an order for all the supplies to make 100.
Can you please take a look at the following options and vote which you like best? Or tell me which are your top two? Everything is starting to look the same to me
*Note: nothing has been glued down yet because I only have one full set of everything so far*
Option 1: Blue matte around invite only
Option 2: Blue matte around RSVP card only
Option 3: Blue matte around invite AND rsvp
Option 4: No blue mattes, just crystal white cardstock on coco pocketfold

I voted for #1!! I like the blue matte for the invitation only, it makes it stand out and look really pretty.
I wouldn't do it for the RSVP card tho bc then it makes the Directions and Reception cards look 'off'.

Wow! You are really creative. I voted for the set with the blue around the RSVP card only, because I thought it made the RSVP stand out, so it would be easy for people to find and remind them to send it back! But...I also liked #4, the set with no blue at all. It looked very elegant. Whichever one you choose, your guests will be impressed!

Wow you did a great job! #3 is my favorite. I think it would look nice if you did the blue around all of the cards. I would love to do my own but I am scared. lol

I love #1!! IMO if you're going to do the blue around another card, I would probably do the reception card instead of the RSVP since they just send that back, whereas the reception card they keep (or you might have been intentionally choosing to make them look different.....sorry if I made this more confusing!!)

Love #1!
As another option (to complicate things even further! ), I added a matte that was pasted to the pocketfold but served as a frame to all of my inserts. Just a thought!
I owe you an FM too.

Katie - yep, I totally used your extra matte as an inspiration and will be doing the blue matte on the invitation and in the pocket side! I have to take a picture and upload it - I'm pretty positive that's going to be it! But I still love to hear opinions!!! Thanks!
