    I would really really love to do  my own invites. Love the pocketfold look. But I have no idea what to do , where to begin. I know what I want in terms of color. And as far as design (something simple-really only want to have our Initital on the invite itself). But how to do all of (like what program to use, should I go to a printer-if so which one. Or can I use my own printer. ETC ETC ETC)I have no clue. Can anyone help wit instructions alone with pics of the steps. With something like this I can be very "SLOW"

    I think it was Miss Ballet flat (and probably others, but can't think of them off the top of my head) that posted a tutorial on this.

    I would imagine this is EXTREMELY time consuming, so just be cognizant of whether making them yourself is really worth it.  I wanted grey pocket folds and was able to find them for 53 cents a piece at Papersource.  If the typical piece of 12x12 paper is $1.00 that was only 1.5 cents more expensive each to save myself all that work, so I went for it.

    Oh, for some reason I thought you were talking about MAKING pocketfolds from paper... disregard.

     

    I made mine using Microsoft publisher, and my home printer and was pretty happy with them.

    Thats okay. Yeah I am just talking about the invite itself (invite, rvsp, direction card or whatever else) but not the pocketfold
