I made my wedding invitations from Signature Pocketfolds in Teal-Canvas. I designed and printed the invite cards and inserts on white cardstock. The pocketfold was sealed with white cardstock bands (with a printed pattern to match the invite cards). Tags were then added and hand addressed to our guests (in place of an inner envelope). I also used white square flap envelopes and white European flap RSVP envelopes (not shown).

This wedding invitation was made using Bronze Metallic Signature 5x7 Pocket Fold.
Each invitation was custom cut matted of Champagne Metallic cardstock and Copper Metallic cardstock.
The invitations were made using Printable Cream Cardstock cut to fit the matting wrapped at the top with Double-faced Satin Copper Ribbon.
Each closure and top of invitation frond was cut using the Champagne Metallic and Copper Metallic Cardstock.
Each table was also decorated using the same paper for the table names and place cards. I also made custom programs, and have only 5 left over! It was a lot of fun! :-)

This is our invitation. We used everything from Cards & Pockets because it was so much easier to order and they had pre-cut pieces!
The pocketfold is the Signature Pearl Metallic. Its beautiful in person, the photo does it no justice. The invitation itself was printed on the 4.5 x 6.5 pre-cut paper (Invitation Mat) in snow white. The inserts are on the 3.5 x 6.75 pre-cut paper in snow white as well. Behind the invitation mat is a fuchsia metallic mat which adds color and is really nice quality paper. The fuchsia square you can see to the left of the photo is on the outside flap of the invitation and holds our 2 x 2 monogram. The fuchsia square is 2.25 inch. Finally the envelopes were 5.25 x 7.25 white envelopes. Very nice quality envelope as well.
I loved the quality of everything and anyone I've talked to at Cards & Pockets was very nice and will help you anyway they can! I would defiantly recommend anyone to buy from them! Good Luck to everyone!

Our monograms were also printed on Cream cardstock with a Bronze backing. We added the Rose colored ribbon to tie it altogether, and matched it with a ribbon around the bronze mat. We are so pleased with our invitations and the items from cardsandpockets! We have received SO MANY compliments! Thank you!

The pocketfold was the Signature PocketFold Gold Leaf (Metallic). We layered that with the invitation mat in cranberry (metallic). The invitation itself was the snow white 4.5x6.5 with color printing full bleed, printed by Cards and Pockets. The three enclosures were cream puff . The closure was a custom cut cranberry (metallic) 2" x 2.5" mat, on which we mounted a photo sticker with our engagement picture. We mounted a magnet under the closure so that the invitation could be reclosed after opening.
