is any1 making there own invites?? i have been looking at the pocket fold style but they are roughly 99p each just had a look on the bay of e and i can get 100 gatefold invites and envelopes for less then £15 which is a bargain for any1 making there own as u just have to print and stick the invites in urself xxx

ossie thats where i have seen them hun im really tempted to try them think im gonna get a sample gatefold and pocket fold and have a go with both,

at the top of the page if u go to my wedding then click on my photo albums u can create an album then just add photos from ur computer hun xx

shazzi these were for a6 hun which is small but ive just been looking and the a5 version is nearly £33 for 100 but but but an a5 sized gatefold is also the same size as A4 when opened up which means its cheaper to buy the A4 card which ive just found for under £8 and score and fold them yourself which is what i will be doing so its a saving of £25 xx

yeah shazzi the card ive found is hammered ivory will pop link on ur wall and for envelopes xx

am making my own i ordered the card of ebay cost is less then 15quid for 50 a4 size hammered ivory card and 50 a4 size pearlescent card and 100 a5 translucent parchment/vellum paper, got my design template for the wording of microsoft so nearer the time am gona do a trial run with the stuff cos got plenty to make errors.

starbabe let us know how u get on hun ive seen the way i want mine there is a pic in my album its just getting them started lol xx

ya welcome hun i cant wait to start mine just having a fiddled at the moment with abit of A4 and rough print outs xx

my martini glass was off the bay of e hun xx

it was just the 1 hun i was only 1 to bid so got it for 99p is it the 1s with the twist in them ur after?? xx

iv made mine they cost mefor day and evening ones to be made just under a hundered pound i got all my bits from hobby craft xx

We're thinking of making our own origami ones like these - by making them in different sizes they'll work as STD's, invites & placenames :) We'd just need to print the info in the right places on some good quality paper & get envelopes Xx

i would love to make my own esp after getting two different samples and realising just how simple they were yet so expensive, may just have a go at some point just worried about the printing side of it x

Brilly I tried cranes but failed miserably lol! The hearts are super simple & literally take 2 mins max :) I'm not a crafty person & even I managed haha - you should have seen the crane I did it was awful! xx

star do u have link hun?? xx

thanks hun xx

I didn't know what a gatefold was, so I looked it up on wikipedia. This is what it said:
A gatefold is a type of fold used for advertising around a magazine or section, and for packaging of media such as the pornographic industry.
Hilarious :-)
Now I think about it, looks like someone has been editing wikipedia. Lol.

I am making my own invites, they are a pocket design.

I am making the pockets out of black card with a silver dragonfly on the front, with a pull out black card Insert which has a red ribbon attached. The insert is folder with on 1 side the invite which has a red ribbon on it for pulling it out with the invite details and the other side having the rsvp details. The details are on printed white paper which I am gluing in and both have a swirl design I drew myself : )

It is way cheaper than buying them and keeps me busy in the run up
