After making your 2 panel pocket folds, you’ll need to design your actual invitations and inserts. I designed using Adobe Illustrator. I printed 3 pages for each invitation.

Page 1: 2 invitation panels (1 English, 1 Vietnamese) on 32/80# Laser White Smooth

Page 2: Two reception cards printed double-sided with directions on back on 65# Cover Laser White

Page 3: 1 Ceremony card & 2 RSVP cards also printed double-sided on 65# Cover Laser White

A large number of our guests are only invited to the reception. Consequently, we needed fewer Ceremony inserts.

I used Docucopies.com to print all panels and inserts. They have a $50 minimum order, so this is only a good option for people who are printing a lot in one order. They consider each file to be an order, which is rather annoying. I used a 10% off coupon code which helped a great deal. I also noted that all orders could be shipped together, so they didn’t charge me separate shipping. Their customer service and quality was superb! I was really impressed when I opened the box of prints!

I was afraid to take these to Kinko’s for cutting like I had with the pocket folds, so I got this fancy pants guillotine paper cutter. It’s pretty freaking badass! It held the paper in place, it cut precisely and straight, and it had a place holder so I didn’t have to measure out every single cut. Loved it! It’s one of my favorite tools I’ve used during this wedding crafting period.
