The heavier the better.
Do you have a nice tool to score with? I think you can find those white plastic things. I prefer my Fiskars Burnishing tool to score heavy papers.

You can use the bigger end of the stylus for thicker papers.
Hope this helps
If you go to www.paperandmore.com you can order samples for like fifty cents a sheet to feel the different weights. I ordered a bunch of samples to see if I liked them in real life. I'm so glad I did that because I ended up not liking my original pick and got a different one. They also have samples of the petal and pocket folds for like $1 each.
I'd go with 100 lb. You need the pockets to be sturdy and hold up in the mail.
I would probably go with #100. I made some invite mock ups with an 80# and it didn't seem sturdy enough to me to make a stiff pocketfold. If you weren't worried about the stiffness, 80# might be fine. You'll have a few layers of paper, so 80# may be fine for the outside. Either way, you will definitely need a scoring tool. Otherwise, you'll end up with that lumpy fold going on with thick paper.
I got 100# for mine from cutcardstock.com. I used a scoring blade in my paper cutter then folded that and used a bone folder to press it flat.

Anyone have ideas for which paper weight to use to make my pocketfold invitations? I havn't felt the weight of the paper, can't find it in stores. So I will have to order blindly online in super large sheets... just wondering if you have had experience with it. I am also using them as a typical invitation backing and printing a layer on 65# cover to attach it. Which should I get??
