Detailed Product Guide
If you are visiting us for the first time, or are just starting your search for do-it-yourself invitation supplies, you may feel hopelessly confused about what items you want or need, and which components go together. Hopefully this brief glossary will point you in the right direction!
Upon reviewing our product guide and online color chart, we recommend ordering Sample color swatches and/or specific invitation materials. We are confident that you will be more than satisfied with the quality of our paper.
Our materials are designed to be used in layers, starting with a Base layer (which would be the final folded size of your invitation) which can be a Folded Card, Gate-Card, Zig Zag Card, Panel Card, PocketFold, etc. From here you have established the cornerstone of your invitation.
If you want to create a two-layer invitation (a Base card and your mounted Invitation) you have two choices. You can order the corresponding Invitation Mat which is sized 1/4" smaller than the invitation panel of the Base card, which when mounted would leave 1/8 inch border around each edge. This Invitation Mat can be printed on (so long as your printer allows) and can be the top & final layer of your invitation.
If you want to create a two-layer invitation but would like more space around the edge of your mounted invitation, you can order the pre-cut Blank Invitation (which is limited to Whites & Creams) and print your invitation on this piece. Mounting this piece onto the panel of your Invitation Base card would leave a full 1/4" border around each edge of the Invitation. If you would like to order another cardstock color rather than the standard Whites/Creams, we can custom size any of our papers to suite your color scheme!
For a 3-layer invitation, all three products should be ordered (the Base Card, Invitation Mat & pre-cut Blank Invitation) which would all layer perfectly with the 1/8" border around each when mounted. If you would like a different sizing structure for different borders around your mounted pieces, we can custom size our papers to any size to accommodate your unique design!
The Printable Blank Enclosures are sized specific to each PocketFold we carry, so each PocketFold has a corresponding Insert size. The Signature & Retangolo PockeFolds share the same size (3.5"x6.75") and for the Vertico PocketFold the Insert size is actually the same size as the pre-cut Blank Invitation (4.5"x6.5"). The size of the Perfetto PocketFold Printable Blank Enclosures is (5"x5.75"). All of these Enclosures can be printed and cut to your preferable sizing to create a staircase look, or we can also custom size our papers to your specific insert sizing & color needs.
Our Printable RSVP Cards (located under the "Printable Enclosures" link in the left menu) are sized at 3.5"x5", the standard minimum postcard size as well as the perfect size to fit into our RSVP envelopes. Another great thing about this size is it is a standard print size for many photo printers, making it easy to print at home.
We offer mailing/outer Envelopes for all our sizes, most of our colors are available in the stylish "European Flap", and more of our colors are continually added in this style. We do offer a square-flap alternative in the A7 & 6.5" Square sizes, in our more standard colors.
The Cards&Pockets Print Shop offers affordable, professional printing. We have the ability to print and score on even our heaviest cardstock, and would be happy to help with any project. We specialize is custom print jobs. Whether it's for your business cards or wedding invitation. We can print everything from "Engagement Announcements" through custom "Thank You" cards.
