Pocket Wedding Invitation Ideas to Up Your Stationery Game
Category: All About Wedding Invitations | Published on: Feb 15, 2016
If you’re looking to jazz up your wedding invites, but don’t quite have the budget for anything too fancy (such as letterpress, foil, or laser cut designs), consider the pocket wedding invitation.
What’s a pocket wedding invitation?
Pockets (or pocketfolds) are folders for organizing your invites. Pockets typically have one panel that’s flat, where you mount the invitation, and a second panel with a pocket to keep your reply card and enclosure cards together.
To pocket or not to pocket?
Pocket wedding invitations are great for a few reasons:
- They’re like opening a gift, so they make your guests feel special.
- They dress up invitations that are otherwise plain.
- They keep everything organized, which is important if you have a lot of enclosure cards.
Of course, there are a few things to remember if you’re going to do pocket wedding invitations:
- They can’t replace your envelope, so you still have to get envelopes in addition to the pockets.
- They do take time to assemble, so make sure you have the time (or the budget to pay for assembly).
- They will make your invites weight more, which may push up the cost of your postage. Always get a complete sample weighed before you stamp anything!
Dressing up your pockets
Just like with everything, there’s plenty of ways to dress up your pocket wedding invitations!
Color
Pocket are available in a huge range of colors, including mattes and metallics. Choose a bright pocket color that coordinates with your overall color theme. Don’t feel you have to be too matchy-matchy.
Size
Pockets come in a variety of sizes and shapes to match the more common invitation sizes. They come in the classic 5×7 but you can also get pockets in Number 10 size or square.
Embellishments
Add a closure to your pocket wedding invitation in the form of a sticker tag or a belly band.
Just like with your invitation design, your pocket design is only limited by your imagination! Check out the invitation pocketfolds that CharmCat has available. Get them with your invitations or order them separately to DIY them!
