    Can I ask where you got your pocketfolds from? Really want pocketfolds for my invites but struggling to find them at a reasonable price. Thanks.

    Don't get them from pocketfoldinvites.co.uk I ordered stuff from them when it came it wasn't right so asked if I could return them they said yeah but I had to pay a 10% handling charge! I sorted it through paypal and got a full refund.

    We got ours from cardsandpockets.com - they are an American site but really lovely quality and a good price - came quickly too!

    hey guys - just to add here - make sure you don't overdo it on what you put in. my friend had pocketfolds for hers and it just had so much info it went way over the top and wasn't needed at all.

    I then went to another wedding that just had the traditional date, time and venue details and I wouldn't say either went better than the other.

    So for our pocketfolds I'm compromising, main details plus a double sided card with RSVP & gift details on one side and accomodation on the other.

    I got wallets rather than pocketfolds but used pda card and craft, prices were very reasonable and I know from the crafts and card making thread that lots of people have found them helpful :)

    We used PDA for our daughters wedding, 2yr ago. Excellent quick service. Very impressed. Just bought invites and envelopes as we have Kanban factory shop near us so I bought the paper and card for inserts from there, bit of a pain with such a lot of cutting to size but cost was a priority as with most people.

    _ We're having a finger buffet as I'm veggie as is my sister and mher boyfriend my OH loves his meat (at home we cook veggie and he adds meat!) my OH BIL is allegic to nuts, I've a friend who's jewish and a friend who muslin and my brother doesn't do green stuff to try a design a menu around that lot would of been a nightmare so people can take of leave whatever. also not doing table plans as to much stress and we're both fairly relaxed about things.

    in answer to where I got the pocketfold from unfortunately it's that website you mentioned paided via pay pal above now really nervous they will !!!! it up!. also got clear labels for the names and addresses via amazon as my handwritting is rubbish and OH is just as bad.
