    these are DIY. i got the kits. i absolutely love the way it turned out but it seems too plain.

    (and the cover looks like the bottom left hand corner under the pocket..solid shimmery white and plain!)

    my camera picture kind of destroyed it

    I think a simple ribbon bellyband with a monogram attached would do the trick! Very cute though! I like them! :D

    We had pocketfold invitations and we used stamps over that blank area underneath the inserts and I thought it looked really nice. Adding ribbon over that area could be nice too. I wouldn't put any ribbon over the actual invitation part.

    looks like a pocket invite - i would go with a simple color belly band with a monogram or symbol that matches your wedding theme. simple and clean but just a bit more something ...

    Like the others I would use a ribbon with a monogram, but I was also thinking about adding a few half pearls to the front of the ribbon to mirror the invites.

     mmm31911 hm i had no idea what a belly band was until i stumbled upon it last night in google! but i like the idea

    sapphirebride i like the stamp idea

     

    tksjewelry i never thought of that. perhaps ill pick some up at the craft store today and see how it looks

    ellabee they have them at all the craft stores (for an arm and a leg IMO) but i got mine at walmart when they were getting rid of the "old" stuff and bringing in the "new"
