thefuturemrslutz's DIY Pocketfold INVITES!!!!!!

thefuturemrslutz · July 19, 2010

Hey girls!!! I thought I would share my pocketfold invites. I designed and constructed these all by myself. Thanks for all the ideas from the forum!! This was definitely not an easy project, definitely a labor of love. BUT I LOVE how they turned out and how personalized they are. I had so much fun with graphic design part of the project! The center is the actual "invitation" and the pocket contains two pieces that contain contain info and a schedule of events for the weekend. The colors are a metallic charcoal gray and a metallic hot pink, fuchsia. The white is a pearlescent white. It is kind of hard to see in the pictures. Thanks again for all of the inspiration ladies!!!!

Details:

The paper, pockets, and envelopes all came from Card Stock, Vellum Paper, Envelopes, Metallic Cardstock, Invitation Cards Specialty Wedding Stationery - Paperandmore.com. The gray is steel gray metallic cardstock, the pink is Pink Azalea metallic pockets (6 1/4" Square Himalaya), and the white paper is the Pearlescent Metallic Paper, Text Weight in Pearl White. The envelopes are 6 1/2" Square Steel Gray Metallic. You can order samples from the site. They are VERY reasonable, provide quick turnaround, and are always having sales. I used them for my DIY save the dates as well. I used spray glue to glue each piece together. It worked very well, but it was MESSY! For the calligraphy on the outside, I sought out a lady on etsy. She is AWESOME and very reasonable. I think her total turnaround time, including shipping, was 4 days. Please see her etsy listing at Calligraphy Envelope Addressing Discount by ArtfulCelebrations. My stamps came from zazzle.com. I thought that was a nice lil cheesy touch! haha

Please let me know if you have any questions! ENJOY!!
