Do It Yourself Pocket Style Wedding Invitations
Pocket fold wedding invitations and self-folding wedding invitations are a wonderful, stylish, and compact alternative to the traditional wedding invitation. They are even easy for those considering the Do it yourself wedding invites. Unlike traditional invitations, which have several envelopes and can be quite bulky, self-folding and pocket wedding invitations are more compact, and for the “green” bride- and groom-to-be, that may be an extra bonus.
Pocket wedding invitations come in several styles, and most often resemble a business presentation folio, where one side (usually left) has the primary invitation information and the other side contains a pocket for the reply card and other information such as maps and directions. The entire wedding invitation can open like a book, like a tri-fold brochure, or use more creative configurations that take their cues from origami and other paper folding methods. The main part of the invitation is presented on a card that is often affixed to the background paper and the text can be written by any number of printing methods-from laser and ink jet printing (for the DIYer), to hand-printing and calligraphy, or sending the cards out to be engraved or embossed. Some companies offerDIY pocket invitation kits; but the really creative bride- and groom-to-be might want to visit stationary, craft, and office supply stores in person or online to select their own paper, themes, styles, and accessories. Some pocket wedding invitation designs will need an outer envelope, however the self-folding ones will not. One style of pocket wedding invitations even has different slots for each invitation element, which is a clever and compact way to share the details of your big day.
When choosing the look for your pocket fold or self-folding wedding invitations, don’t forget to consider the cost to mail them. Cardstock and other specialty papers often weigh more than regular letter paper. If you have embellishments such as bows, embossing, or raised specialty stickers, your invitations will cost more to mail than a standard letter. Even so, self-folding and pocket wedding invitations are an excellent and creative way to invite guests to your wedding.
