Wedding Invitation
My DIY Pocketfolds

I never got to upload the pics of my pocketfolds after I hurt my hand so here they are in all their glory. My husband was trying to be funny with our arts and crafts time and said that his students couldve done them...but I think they were very cute. He took his statement back after one of his friends said he must be paying a lot for this wedding.....MEANING...my pocketfolds looked expensive. Then, I hand delivered one to a girl that I hadnt seen in forever from church...she was dying to ask me the following Sunday who did my invites...AHHHHH....I felt complete after that...that was in July after the invites had already been sent out in June.....I cant track down all of the prices...but I used pink aspire strips that were already pre-cut (sold that way) papermillstore.com $42.97 for 350 strips....got a paper cutter to cut off excess and scor(?) it for the folding areas (Fiskars $17 - Walmart).....brown card stock pre cut for the backing and white linen paper....We only had to cut the linen paper, inserts, and one inch off of the longest side on the strips (hence my infected fiasco after Kinko's) - 2 hours of work tops. BUY GLUE DOTS....I love glue dots....it made the process go so much faster...my mom and I actually timed out how many she could do with a glue stick compared to my 4 glue dots on each piece of paper...I won! LOL...Anyway it was frustrating, cool, and cohesive all at the same time....I loved them..and it seems like some of my guests thought we paid a bunch of money. Mission accomplished.

Great job!  I too got my paper from papermillstore.com, I was sooo happy when I found it...I really didn't want to use 12 x 12 paper.  But these look great.  I am on my invitation journey now.

Unsure on the size..might have been something like 6" x 32"??? All I know is to make 5x7's...I used the usual diagrams that you find online..and cut off the extra inch on every paper....got it down to 5x22 something like that...
