I cannot wait to try this! I’m getting married next May and have been agonizing over save-the-dates and wedding invites that seem ridiculously expensive. Thank you thank you so much for posting this and I’ll let everyone know how it goes!

Does anyone know what she used for pocket folders? I just can’t figure it out. what did she have to do to the ‘report covers” to make them into pocket folders, and where on earth did she find these report covers? I can’t find them at Office Depot.

I am soooo with you on the making invite yourself idea! It means you get exactly what you want and usually for a fraction of the cost. I haven't got round to doing my invites yet but had a ball with my Art Deco style Save The Date cards which you can see more of here.

Awesome ideas, very resourceful! I also did my own invitations and found that a lot of the online paper stores give huge discounts on bulk paper and envelopes.

I know I personally love to get a set of handmade/homemade invitations over those standard print shop invites. But of course we all do what we can!

Thanks for sharing!

I love these invites! I think I’m going to do something like this myself now! And my fiance said he’d even help!

I’m confused though – how did you make the invitation covers/folders? Did you buy them as folders? Or can you post a pattern of how you cut the report paper and folded it into a folder?

Thank you! And great job!
