Printing on gatefold invites

Are you having an insert on which you would print the main invite, then stick it into the gatefold?

Such as these:

Or were you thinking of printing directly onto the gatefold itself? Like this:

If so, you would probably need to mess around with your printer/program (that you're designing the invite on) settings.

In my opinion, printing onto an insert and sticking that to the gatefold looks better, and is probably easier to do.

I thought about this style and was going to print onto squares and stick them in - as the inserts above. Though I can never get printers to do as I want

If you were planning on printing straight onto the card, you would probably have to use a text box in word and set the page orientation to landscape, and possibly change it on your printer settings too. I do think it looks much better with an insert stuck on though. Adds a bit more colour and texture etc to it.

Thinking of doing something similar to the invite that had lucinda and James on it! It looks lovely! Just got to price up how much it will be! X
