    Forgot to say, I've used Cranberry cards through Amazon for the pocketfold itself and then PDA for all the other bits and pieces.

    Putting it all together myself though.

  • I got our evening and day invitations through pocketfoldinvites.

    They sent a free of charge sample so we knew we were getting the right thing.

    I guess there are good and bad experiences with any company :think:

    I've made lots of pocketfold invites for a number of brides. If doing them all yourself, it is fiddly and time consuming, but well worth it in the end, and I love doing them.

    Each bride has wanted different information in their pockets, but I think from what you've put, you've covered the important info.

    Did you email to ask about that - the free sample? I wanted to order some of their black 'wave' design but need to order three batches!

    We had:
    - the obvious 'invite' sheet!
    - a 'Details' card including order of the day (to let people know when to expect feeding!), little things like 'please no confetti' and asking about dietary requirements, a comment about gifts (none required though donations to wedding album welcome), full contact details for RSVPs and any questions and link to wedding website for more details
    - an RSVP card with addressed envelope
    - a Menu card with details of what we'd be serving (so that if people don't like it they can bring a sandwich or whatever!)
    - a card from the Photographer (explaining album and so people can donate direct if they want to)
    - a postcard of maps, driving directions, and pointing out nearby accommodation.


    It might be a bit of overkill, but the wedding is in September, and I have big scary uni exams in August and do NOT want people hassling me needlessly with simple questions when I'm trying to revise! I went for the "tell them EVERYTHING" route!
    Life on a shoestring!
