Do pocketfolds = informal?

Please give me your opinion.

FI & I are having a church ceremony followed by an evening reception.  It's not a black-tie wedding but it is formal.

I know that simple invitations tend to say 'formal' but I like the look and price tag of pocketfolds.  However, do you think they imply that it's a more casual event?

This is the inspiration for my invitation: http://www.invitationconsultants.com/invitation.aspx?p_invitationitem=SLEOT102 But I'm thinking a silver pocketfold, black mat, and white paper with black script font and a navy blue ribbon.  The enclosures will coordinate.

What are your thoughs?

    My aunt just received an invite to a very formal, high-end wedding - it weighed about 10lb (kidding, but it was heavy!) and was pocketfold with lots of inserts.

    I don't think pocketfolds = informal. I think that the quality of the invite dictates how formal the wedding is.

    I almost think that it is the opposite...depending on how it is done. We had pocketfolds, and people were commenting on how "fancy" they were..

    I think a lot depends on the quality of the paper like people said, the font and the actual wording (Please join us vrs the honour of your presence).  I think as long as the look of you invitation equals the formality of your wedding you will be good!

    BTW that invitation if beautiful & if you do something similar to that then it is defiantly formal!

    We did pocketfolds and our wedding isn't black tie either, but is definitely formal. People are still raving about how gorgeous they were and how much more elaborate they were than most invitations they have received. I've had several people say, "You must have spent a fortune on these!" and I just laugh and tell them I designed them and assembled them myself as a DIY project so they cost considerably less than one would think.

    I think your inspiration photo is beautiful! I love shimmer and sparkle!

    I also agree with pp that a lot of it does have to do with the wording on how formal or informal the event is.

    Thanks girls!

    That's definitely the answer I was hoping for, but I wanted to check.  My mom is a little 'iffy' on the DIY pocketfold idea so I wanted another (your) opinion.

    I appreciate the feedback! :)

    I agree, to me, pocketfolds are more formal.

    Are you using the Invitation Consultants website to place your order?  I have not heard of them... only weddingpaperdivas.com.
