Invitation Question

What did you guys do for invitations?

Traditional Envelopes or Pocketfolds?

Pros/Cons to either would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm making my own pocketfolds, I like the way you can keep everything together in the pocket instead of everything loose where it could get lost.

We did not use pocketfolds. Honestly, wedding invitations confuse me! I just figured out what I needed and bought those from vistaprint. Then everything went loose in the envelope.

I made my own pocketfolds. I liked how it kept everything together instead of just putting everything in the envelope

Hired Designer Jen to do my invites. They are not pockets, but they are layered. I have one enclosure plus my RSVP and they're just going loose in the envelope.

I don't really think there are pros and cons to either. It's just whatever you want. Pockets are a little more expensive than flat invites but they're great if you have several enclosures.

I did this as well. I had a designer design my invitation and rsvp cards for me (for free! now she charges $7- $14 I think) and set up my file so I could send both to Cards & Pockets to be printed. Their prices were amazing and with all my supplies (not including postage) my invites (60) came in well under $150, and I printed my own inserts and cut them myself (which I kind of don't recommend, they came out great but it took a lot of time and was sort of frustrating).

We are not using pocketfolds. We are tying all the pieces together with raffia and then hanging this (the one on the left) off of them - it's our "logo" that is used a lot in our wedding stationary.

I don't have a lot of inserts, so I didn't want a pocketfold, but I wanted that 'together' look, so we're doing folded cards (like a greeting card):

And they using lace wrapped around the front to hold in the pieces (RSVP card and one insert and envelope for RSVP):

Mine are pocket fold. I love invitations where everything stays together, because i loose things so easily!

These are so pretty!! I like how the RSVP gets tucked into the lace.
