You only have to cut the inserts, they do everything else for you. I purchased 110 (included mats, inserts, pocketfolder and envelope, RSVP cards and envelopes for only about $330). That was a steal. I went to a local store here and they wanted about $900 for the same thing and you still had to put them together yourself

Yes, very exciting. Now I need to get a group of people together to help me put them together

very pretty

I like your shoes, can't wait to see more pictures

I plan on using long tables also! Here are a couple of ideas.

Yesterday, I received everything to start my DIY invites! I can not wait to get started. I ordered pocketfolder from cards and pockets. I will definitely post pictures when done

I am so happy for you! I was waiting to see your pics... I knew everything was going to be beautiful congrats

I just sent Claudia and e-mail. I will keep you updated

keep me updated on this...I hope they are not scheduling more than one wedding per day. I have to pay my deposit this week and if so, I need t find another hotel

Looks like we all can count on there definitely being more than one wedding on our dates, huh? (At least those of us in May anyway ... seems to be a busy time for them.) I know there's another girl on BDW who has May 8th ... I got offered 4pm that day. I would be very disappointed if they were holding weddings practically every HOUR at the gazebo. But anyway, at this point I have no idea what my fiance and I are doing ... due to financial reasons we most likely have to look elsewhere (for the sake of our guests). Maybe even a cruise. Everything is so up in the air. Did she give you a list of available dates? My wedding is May 30,2009 and I hope we are the only ones for that date

Great job! I love everything. Do you have a larger pic of you pocketfolder insert? I am in the process of creating mine and need help with wording thanks

Also, maybe a timeline of the weekend

Awh man. I just ordered a new Dell printer about 2 weeks ago...I want a Gocco

I am getting married May 30th 2009! I am so excited...can't wait

Was this online or in the store?

I can agree. I am using pocketfold for my invite. It is the best way to get a lot of info out there to your guest

Congratulations!

Hello I am in the process of creating wedsite for my wedding at Dreams Cancun. Does anyone have any high resolution pictures that I can post on there? I tried some pics from google but they do not come out clear thanks

I am in the same situation. My wedding is May 2009 and everyone would like thier invites now. I have about 100 invites to send out. I decided to skip STD and send out invites to everyone now (actually I am mailing them in a month) to give everyone enough time to save and no one will feel left out that they didn't recieve an official invite. I am doing the invitations myself (pocketfolder) which will include all travel info, RSVP, our website (momentsville.com) and STD magnets (from vistaprint). This way is easier for us I will later send newsletter and keep website updated for those who will attend Hope this helps Tamika

Please keep us updated. I wonder if it is in the store. I want it orange

I would love to see more pics too! I am using the same colors
