can you tell me where you got the paper from and how you did it please? Is it hard, was it worth the time, I'm not trying to do this to save $$ but I want a specific type, that I am having such a hard time finding

Re: Who made there own pocketfold invites
I did- I have a great lazer printer, that helped speed up the process. my invites are gorgeous, but i sometimes wish I had spent the extra money and saved the time - if you have a ton of people to help you id say go for it.
I got the pocketfolds from cardsandpockets.com
the paper from LCI paper.

My pocket fold paper came from neenahpaper.com which is a thick cardstock I folded into pockets myself. I ordered invites that are printable from LCI paper.com

I am in this process now.
The paper for the enclosures, I bought at Staples. 110lb Card stock, and am cutting it all. BIG $$ Saver and doing a little each night makes it go by rather quickly while watching TV =o)
The background for the invite part is actually a 5x7 picture, with Vellum over it. The Vellum I bought at Staples/Office Depot for a pack of 50 sheets it was about $10 and I am having two printed per sheet at MinuteMan Press in St James with the raised printing. I should have them next week, so I can tell you how they are then...
The pocketfold I ordered from CardsandPockets.com like so many other brides. They are great to work with and have great prices!
Any questions - let me know!
Here are some pictures of the 'sample' we did. NOTE: The outside will be pearl, and the enclosures will be in color. These are pictues from my camera phone, so they aren't the greatest, but I should have pictures next week of the final project.
