Invitation mockup *flash* - opinions please

victoriamarie, 17 October, 2010 at 14:28 Posted on Planning 0 14

I have quickly put together a pocketfold invitation - the ribbon is quite wonky I know and the insert is not even but you get the idea. Not done the info cards yet either.

I'd like some honest opinions please girls Smiley smile

    They look lovely. Where did you buy all the stuff from? I'm looking to make my own pocketfolds but haven't a clue where to start!

    PDA card and craft for the pocketfold (only bought 1 to see what it was like), ebay for the dusky pink backing card and ribbon, and I printed off the insert and monogram myself.

    They look great. Can you make mine lol.

    Am going to be making mine..... however will be cheating with a pre made kit, so all I have to do is decorate and choose the wording inside....

    They are lovely but you will probably want an earlier RSVP date than 20 days before I made this mistake and ended up rining round everybody

    We had to pay our venue 21 days before so they needed final numbers 6 weeks before

    I think they look great. Agree with Frizzball though about the RSVP date, we asked for RSVPs by mid September and 4 weeks later, are still chasing people up and we get married in less than 4 weeks!

    I think you've done a great job.?

    I'm going to be going for Pocketfold invites and making them myself, I think they're really lovely and as a lot of our guests are going to be travelling to our wedding location and having to find acommodation the inserts are ideal for me to add lots of useful info for them. My stationery has thus far probably been my biggest research project as I want to get it perfect . . . how did you manage to print the monogram yourself?

    Thanks girls, the RSVP date isn't the final one - wasn't sure off the top of my head what venue told us so put a random date. Thanks for the tip though!

    Sarah I just did it in word, printed it off and cut round it.

    Very stylish!!

    All I would say is that personally, I think the flowers on the inserts would look better not stretched out as they are at the moment? How do they look if you don't stretch them out?

    Also - why is there only an 'S' on the monogram layer??? Or am I missing something?

    I used a template for the insert which was rectangular originally and resized the image which is why they look a bit stretched out, will see if I can sort this out. As for monogram, saw some online done like this with just the surname initial.. I did want our initials too but couldn't get it right using just Word. OH is not too sure on monogram so may change it completely. Thanks for your comments :-)
