Helpful Tips & Ideas Section
Reviewer: Cindy C from Mission Viejo, CA

After searching for alternative paper options for my parent's 50th anniversary invite, I found your site. I searched for select ideas and tips and found just what I was looking for. I ordered and so hoped everything would be just right. When the order arrived it was neatly packaged and carefully counted. The colors I picked were almost identical to the website (metallic gold). I am so very pleased with the time and the ease in searching your site and placing my order. The cost was much less than our local invitation store and I was able to create it myself. I will use paper and more again and will refer you often.

The pocket card is pearlescent and has a gorgeous shine. The paper shimmers in the light, has a beautiful soft sparkle and is metallic on both sides. This design has a horizontal pocket on the right flap of the card and a flap on the left to fold over the card. The card is 5" x 7" after folding.

Assembly Instructions:

Center Flap:

The center flap can be used to display the main body of the invitation (event, participants, dates, location, etc...)

The paper to be placed on the center flap (5" x 7") is called the Base. We would recommend having the Base for this flap cut to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" and center on the flap. You can order any of our papers and use our Custom Cutting service to have the paper trimmed to the size you need. We also have Pre-Cut Base Cards in Bright White Solid or you may order paper uncut and have it cut locally. You can use our Adhesives or any adhesives intended for photo mounting to adhere the Base on the middle flap.

• Adhesives (Lines or Squares will work well)

Right Pocket Flap:

The pocket (4 1/2" x 7") can be used to display additional event details, maps, directions, rsvp cards, reception cards, hotel & registry information, etc...

The paper to be placed inside the pocket is called the Pocket Insert.. We would recommend having the Pocket Inserts cut to 4 1/4" wide and 6 3/4" tall for a nice fit. The Pocket Inserts can then be trimmed in height to achieve a layered look. You can order any of our papers and use our Custom Cutting service to have the paper trimmed to the size you need. We also have Pre-Cut Pocket Inserts in Bright White Solid Cardstock or you may order paper uncut and have it cut locally.

Closing:

When assembled, the card will fit perfectly into the matching A7 Envelopes. If desired, the Pocket Card can be kept closed with Seals (not included).

• Seals

Due to the style and the paper being extra heavy weight cardstock, it is NOT compatible with most home printers. It is best to print on an insert and adhere to the middle flap or place inside the pocket on the right side. If you need printing directly on the card, please contact a local print shop.

This paper is recyclable, acid free, and elemental chlorine free. No metals or foils are used in production.

Cards can be ordered at a low cost to test in your printer or to feel the quality. Shipping is only a flat $1 for as many samples as you would like.
