DIY Pocket Fold Invitations for 15 CENTS

From the start I knew that I wanted pocket fold invitations so after hours and even days of looking for wedding invitations that would just have to be perfect i decided that I would make my own...HARD?? YES!! and very time comsuming but worth it for the cost and the fact I got what I wanted and could experiment with different styles and fonts etc. I used 2 8x10 sheets of black card stock and i cut each one into 7x8 sections. I made three folds... from the top 2inches then again at 5inches leaving a half inch flap that will be tapped to the next section..... 1inch foldtnen again at 5inches the remaining is your pocket when you fold it over becomse the pocket just put double sided sticky tape on each side and will stay.  pocket flap should messure aprx 2 and a half inches. Use double sided tape to tape together your 2 smaller  flaps. i then cut a 5x7 red mat for the backing of the invitation, and made them as well for the pocket folds for the accomidations, directions, and rsvp card. its all based on mesaurments!!! i created my basic invite in word file and when they are together i will post the finsish product right now i have just been cutting the pocket folds!!
