This week I have been looking more into makeing my own Pocket Invites, no matter how hard I look at different types of cards I always come back to these.

Wannabenurse from DIY Wedding forum was so kind in sending me a template for making my own and I have made a mock one up and in size is perfect and the covers can be made with one sheet of A4 card stock. and the invite and inserts I can print 2 to a sheet of A4 paper or card too. I showed Dave and though He likes it he said he would prefer having an envelope flap like the ones you can buy.

So putting my already mock one to the side I started to draw out a slightly smaller template but with the envelope edge as well so as it would still fit on A4 Card stock. Not to bad but think it may now be a bit too small to fit the invite in and inserts. I want to get some cardstock and paper in the wedding colours so I can really see whats best and see if it works for real and looks neat.

I think the small ones look cute but i dont think it can hold the info to go inside neatly but wont know till I try.

Also Cheque book Invites look quite nice, they only have Chocolate coloured ones on sale at Confetti and like the normal pocket invites its so difficult to find them in the UK.

The thing I really am trying to work out at the moment is is it going to be cheaper me making my own in the long run or am I better off buying ready made so it's a case of printing and putting together?

Also trying to work out what's the best card stock to use?.
