    I think everyone has that one wedding project that consumes them. My all consuming project is making and re-making wedding invitations. We're having a rustic barn wedding, and first I chose the pocketfold invite from Target. I added the cardstock backing and the embossed flower.

    Then, I saw a linen pocket on Snippet and Ink and had to try it. I started sewing and made a trial version. I think this invite matches our theme better, but I need some help. My family just keeps saying they like them both. What do you ladies think?

    I like the sewn linen.  It's different and unexpected.

    I LOVE the sewn linen.  If I got that invite, I would think "I can't wait to go the wedding."  It is so cool.

    I love the sewn one; especially for your theme, and it would be more unique. Not everyone has done it.

    If you still have the link for the instructions, I would love for you to send it to me please :-)

    A pocketfold always makes me think, "Oooh, fancy!"  But I voted for the sewn one, because it's so unique and it matches your theme.  It also has that homemade vibe that makes everyone smile. : )

    Jeez I really like the pocketfold way better.  The sewn linen just looks a little too handmade to me and a little messier.  I guess that is the look some people want, but I prefer the cleaner and more classic look of the pocketfold.

    I'm not really a fan of the linen. Too be honest, it kind of looks like a potato sack. But that's just me.

    Thanks for your opinions! I am SUCH A SPAZ when it comes to invitations. I'm on round 36. No joke. I'm reworking the linen pouch to look less potato sack-ish. Stay tuned for round 37. :)
