Pocketfold invitations...help please!!

I had pocketfolds & bought all my card, inserts etc from https://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/ They had the largest range of pocketfold shapes, sizes & cards to choose from.

The only problem with using a wax seal, is that the guest would have to tear the invite to get it open. If you wanted a wax seal, I'd seal the envelope only. You can buy little wax seal kits from stationers or maybe hobbycraft & they come with a stamp- usually an initial. I've never seen the wax discs you refer to. The one I saw was like a little red candle shape of wax. You heat the end to soften it, then scrape the end off onto the paper. You then use the stamp to put an inprint in the wax & seal it.

I used little velcro dots to close our pocketfolds. I bought a whole strip of them off ebay. No ripping of paper to open it & the guest can reclose it to keep all the inserts & info inside.

I am planning on either using the ribbon that will go around the pocket to keep it together or using the velcro dots. You would really only need 1 or 2 per invite so it shouldnt cost you a huge amount of money.

I'd prefer the velcro and that's what I was initially looking at. OH is a nightmare once he's got an idea in his head though so I'm going to need to talk him out of the wax. I can imagine the carnage doing the seals with a toddler running about ?

This is the seal wax kits I've seen at our local stationers. As said, you could seal the envelopes, but I wouldnt do the actual invite. Also, wait till the toddler is in bed!

We tied raffia around ours and attached a tiny charm in the shape of a leaf (we have a tree theme). The charms were a great find on Etsy, only 10p each!

(Tried to include a photo, but can't figure out how. I've clicked on the Insert Media icon and selected the photo, but clicking 'Insert' does nothing. Any ideas?)

We've used personalised stickers from ebay - these have our names and the date on in a circle and match our colour scheme.

They don't rip when you open the invitation because the pocket fold is slightly shiny.

We had little magnetic catches. It's been the thing that most people have commented on!

When you click reply (not quick reply), click on the icon that looks like a film strip. Choose your file from your computer than press insert.

if it's not working, check the file is a jpeg or similar and that it's not too big.

ETA: may not work on ipads and similar. - If you're on an ipad, you may have to upload image to photobucket then copy the image link. If you search the forums you will find more info on this.

Thanks Kharv, think my jpeg was too big!
