Re: When to start?
i've heard it takes a few weeks from a few people. depends on how much time you can devote in one sitting and also how anal you are i think

Re: When to start?
I am officially starting to put them together tomorrow BUT I have already cut and printed everything including all of the inserts, invite, monogram seal, mount and ribbon to size. It took me probably 2 weeks to do what I've done already and NOTHING is put together yet. The pocketfolds aren't even folded yet.

Re: When to start?
I would start by getting swatches of cardstocks from diff companies they are all a little different, in quality, color, richness, and sparkle. For the pocketfold.
My favorite was cardsandpockets.com their colors where so bright and fresh, others I've gotten seemed really dull.
Then think about what embellishments, ribbons, patterned pappers, linings, etc.
Then start playing with your printer and different kind of inserts and papers.
Took me a good 2 months (only weekends) because I kept changing my mind over colors, papers, etc), but realistically, if I took the easiest route it would have taken 5 hours a day for 2 days, to do 100 invites.

Re: When to start?
It took me 2 weeks to do mine about 4 ours every other day. But I was anal so i wouldn't let anyone help me. To me the printing was what took the longest.
