Pocket Wedding Invitations

Pocket wedding invitations look special and stylish, which is why so many couples embrace 'pocket' for a DIY invitation-design project. If you print the invitation on card, you can then put some paper wrap around that you tie with a ribbon or string, and you'll have a very elegant invitation. The great part is that you have numerous options indeed!

An advantage of pocket wedding invitations is that you can assemble them pretty easily, and you make them convenient for reply cards, instruction cards and direction cards that can thus be put together in the form of a single invitation card. The designs vary a lot. Depending on how complex you need the pockets, you may have up to three folds. The wedding invitation as such will be placed in the middle pocket, while the instruction and accommodation cards will be placed in the side pockets.

Pocket wedding invitations are usually very appealing for the guests, and highly satisfactory for the couple due to the chance they offer for personal expression. Couples somehow see themselves reflected in their wedding invitation, and this is why they are so peculiar about design. Sometimes, you can further increase the artistic effect of pocket wedding invitations by adding various embellishments such as buckles, laces, beads, crystals, gems, ribbons etc.

Ribbons are popular because they come in such a variety of styles, colors and materials, they support the theme of the wedding and they can be combined with tiny beads for more enhancement. If you have a bit of skill, you can also purchase a stationery kit and design some great pocket wedding invitations yourself. Online suppliers provide lots of design tips and suggestions that you can put into practice along the way. Although you will have a great time and you'll save money, the inconvenience about DIY design is that it's pretty time consuming.

Make sure you are well equipped with tools and supplies for the project. For designing pocket wedding invitations you'll need a good paper cutter, double sided tape, cardstock and coordinating patterned paper, a craft knife, scissors and decorative accessories. Do not commit yourself to such projects unless you are skilled and have time for the tasks. When the cards are ready, you are just half-way done, because you need to create the wrap or the pocket as well.

There are quite a lot of decent ideas online for designing the pockets, and you can work on them freely for a more exquisite design.

Good luck!
