Wedding Invite Designs - advice needed!!

Wifeysoontobe, 8 October, 2010 at 21:45 Posted on Planning 0 12


Hi All, I have been searching high and low for the "perfect" wedding invite, FINALLY found something that we love, but the company who sent us the sample has let us down.Does anyone know of a company who either sells diy wallet invites or wallet invites if we ask for our info to be put on there? Im not after a pocketfold one, I'm after a simple teal wallet with the sample colour insert card - I've been looking online and I can't find ANYTHING - surely it must be so simple??

Anyone help before I tear my hair out?? x

P.S. I have now attached what the sample invite we received was - this is what we want - we'd be happy to buy the wallet and wallet inserts diy or get someone to make them up for us - anyone help? Thanks to those who replied earlier xx

    I am sat here making DIY wallet invites and I bought all the wallets, envelopes and card from PDA cards and crafts, they are very reasonable !

    Mine are slightly more detailed than you may be looking for but you get the idea:



    The actual insert is cream card, then mirrored card and then the coloured card but it doesnt come out very well on the camera !!

    I can still help you. I offer a full design service. I could definitely do something similar to the picture you posted.

    The samples on my site are just possible designs. I design something specific to meet your needs.

    I have sent you an email as well but please get *******@****************.**.** if you would like me to design something for you specifically.

    Hi Nat, sorry I didn't get the email, must be still in transit!

    Just to give a bit more detail then - basically the colour of the wallet card is "teal" which as you can see from the picture is a blue/green colour. If it helps, the measurements of the wallet and insert card in the previous attachment are as follows:

    14.6cm x 14.6cm = wallet
    14cm x 14cm insert card

    What I must add is that the picture shows the insert card with white paper stuck to it (the company I used did this for me, but I'm happy to cut and stick the paper on the card myself) - we just need the wallet and insert card to go inside.

    What we are looking for is 1 sample to be sent before we order the rest just to double check it's correct before wasting your time!

    I also want to make it known I am not after "pocketfold invites" - which is all I seem to be offered (nothing wrong with them, but would prefer just the "wallet" type)

    Do you think this would be possible?

    I have found these on PDA...

    146 x 146 Wallet

    https://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/colorplan-card-wallets-and-pocketfolds.html

    The insert cards

    https://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/colorplan-270gsm-card.html

    They also do sample packs so that you can see all of the colours... this is helpful as what you describe as "teal" may be listed as something else - I am having the same issue with "Turquoise"!

    I recommend this card for the actual invitation - "Cryogen" - it is not pearlescent but has a sparkle to it - it's what I am making my pocketfolds from! (I think paper may be a little tricky to stick without bubbling/creasing...

    https://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/double-sided-irridescent-pearlescent-coloured-card.html

    You will need to think about whether your printer can print on smaller pieces of card or whether you will need to buy A4 and cut it down.

    You can buy single pieces from PDA which is what I did to play around with ideas and check colours and printers etc.

    Hope that helps!!! x

    Hi.

    Please do email me at *******@****************.**.** and I can give you more information. You say you don't want the paper stuck on the front? Am I right in thinking then that you want to do it all yourself?

    This is something i have quickly put together for you just now.

    Obviously the pocket and backing on the insert would be teal i just do not have any in at the moment.

    i would be happy to make you up a sample in your colour scheme if you are interested. I have also emailed you with the pricing for them

    Thank you
