SAMPLE #1: Our DIY Pocketfold Invites (w/ pics)!!!
What do you think??
We are already thinking of making a few changes... not sure I like the black thick line going around the direction & accom cards. Maybe a thinner line or a double line? Also, not sure of the bow we chose for the outside, maybe a thicker bow?
Tissue paper w/ our pic printed on it... hard to get a good pic of it.
ETA: Instructions/supplies!
I won't lie... it's a PITA, but we saved over $500 by doing them ourselves!!
We got the white invite cards & response cards from exclusivelyweddings.com.
Pocketfolds are from invitesbyyou.com.
We got the cardstockpaper (accom cards & Directions) from Staples and cut them to size w/ a paper cutter. 
Ribbon & glue is from Michael's.

Re: SAMPLE #1: Our DIY Pocketfold Invites (w/ pics)!!!
I love them!! I am doing black and Pink invitees as well. Where do you buy all the stuff to make them. Is it hard?
I don't think you need to make any changes, they are perfect. They look like you spend a fortune on them.

Re: SAMPLE #1: Our DIY Pocketfold Invites (w/ pics)!!!
WOW JESS!!! I think they look AWESOME! My response date is the same hehehe! I am also unsure about the black border on the direction card, but without it I think it will be missing something. GREAT JOB!!

Look amazing. I think the lines look good on the RSVP and Accommodation card when they are in the pocketfold.
One small note - I think Accommodations has two ms, not one.  Not sure!

Ribbon from Michaels...
piggybacking on your post:
We also went the DIY route w/invites. Had we bought them already made - they would've run us at least $8 per invite - we bought the supplies and it cost us $300 in total - saving us $500.

Re: SAMPLE #1: Our DIY Pocketfold Invites (w/ pics)!!!
Like I said on the "other" site Jess, they are awesome. You guys did such a great job! It's amazing how much you save, isn't it. Totally and completely a pain in the arse, but when the finished product looks so good, your soooooo happy! Great Job, Really!!!! People are never going to believe you did those yourself!

Thanks! Yea, I should have bought a few diff kinds of ribbon to see which looks best. I'm going to check out Michael's to see what other kinds they have.
Anywhere else I can look for ribbon in nassau besides AC Moorea and Michaels?

Re: SAMPLE #1: Our DIY Pocketfold Invites (w/ pics)!!!
okay seriously... they're so pretty that i'm wondering if i could do that because i like them so much. Stupid question, but did you just print them on your computer printer? How did you do the invitation part with the initial and all? I feel like i wouldn't know where to start!!!
Please help!
