posted on your wall. There are loads of places that do them though.
I also bought plain ones and filled them myself. Absolutely had a great time with the bridesmaids putting on embellishments, tying bow etc to make them mine! Even embossed a stamp on the envelopes. Had loades of compliments. Even had my sister draw me a map for the directions!
Depending on time and effort you want to put into them, you can buy all the parts for them or buy the basic pocketfold and make the rest.
Have fun.
Soon to be Mrs Mawee!

I too bought flat packed pocketfolds and glued them together, i made the inserts, map, hotel and taxi info for the guests. I bought the ribbon & gems off the bay & ordered a pack of stampers including a personalised One with our initials & wedding date putting them altogether took alot of time. Definately invest in a good craft knife & metal ruler if your needing to cut card down to size. I also bought alot of things from hobbycraft as I wanted to back everything onto coloured card to give it a better effect.

I spent a lot of time in hobbycraft as well! Mainly when I was playing with different ideas. I would say keep the design simple as making them becomes hugely time consuming. What with all the inserts that are needed. Pics of my semi complete invites are in my photo albums. I've never got round to updating the pics on here since I finished them. If you struggle for time or inspiration vistaprint is a good friend of mine now. They did my RSVP cards and evening invites in the end.

i made mine got ready made pocket folds just had to glue them together and decorate found them on e-bay, have made all mine by getting bits of e-bay and craft shops. cost me £50 to do all my invites 35, and place settings table numbers. buy your stamps now before the price goes up that will save you a small fortune

I bought flat pack pocket folds witht he blank inserts. I've currently been faffing with getting the text sorted but think I got that done now. Not really thought about embellishments etc x
