How To: DIY Wedding Invitations with Pockets

This video is a bit longer and more complicated than I thought, but I really love the way my invitations came out... I couldn't have bought better ones and they are perfect!
The best thing is that these are really adaptable to any wedding theme and are really easy to make - even for non crafters!
Check out this awesome video for a much less complicated way of showing you how to do this!:

This was so helpful!!! Thank you so much. ❤❤❤ I love your invites :)

[@SusanneTherese92]

This was incredibly helpful and now my invitations are perfect!

[@PlumMashable]

I'm so glad it was helpful Susanne! Thanks for watching!

[@Katy809RD]

LOVE IT! A true DIY! Thank you so much!!! I didn’t want to spend $80 on the pocket enevelops

[@PlumMashable]

I'm so glad it helped you Kathy!

[@julialimongedesousa4333]

Just a tip: the reason why you feel like you have to leave your stamp on for such a long time, is because you’re supposed to leave it on ice/ cold water to stop it from being sticky. If you do that it’ll save some time

[@PlumMashable]

Ah! Thanks so much for the tip Julia. Very much appreciated!

[@mrs.andreanicoleeichten3109]

I think they turned out beautiful & personally I would keep them & frame them too, even the little blue heart! 😊😍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@PlumMashable]

I've made a spare so it can be photographed on the wedding day. I'd love to have them included somewhere.

[@mrs.andreanicoleeichten3109]

Plum_Mashable I hope you do get to include them in your wedding! Maybe you could put them up at the reception table with the guest book or with your engagement photos!!!! I’m so excited for you!!!!

[@PlumMashable]

I'm sure we'll find a way. xx

[@rhondles]

Oh Hun, your invitations are gorgeous. The color and theme is just so pretty, Your day is going to be fantastic, xxx

[@PlumMashable]

I really hope so.. every little detail is scaring me, but very excited still

[@catrionastarpins5852]

So beautiful 😍 I really love the star fish. I had a nautical theme wedding with anchors on my invitations. Anything seaside related is my favourite. Well Done! I’d be very proud of these too 😍😊

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks hun. They did turn out very well.

[@dagmarriley2923]

Absolutely beautiful Invitation Set! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity!

[@PlumMashable]

No worries Dagmar! Thanks for watching and for your kind comment.

[@akens2006]

Beautiful work, thank you for sharing this tutorial

[@barbsdee3831]

Totally gorgeous 😍❤️ ‘edit’ Just watched your video again and noticed you’re folding your card the wrong way 😘 when you score bend away from the score line. In other words the bend created will be on the outside. You will get a much cleaner fold that way. Hope you don’t mind me saying xx

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks Barb. I was really proud of my invitations in the end :)

[@kkg75]

They turned out great! You could make something like that for your planner too...

[@PlumMashable]

I think I could.. its the hard part of not making your planner too bulky though..

[@sazzas01]

You did an amazing job with it!

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks Sarah. Very proud!

[@MarjoleinVeenendaal]

I love love love these! Thanks for this tutorial!

[@PlumMashable]

You're so welcome Marjolein! I'm glad you love them! I love them too!

[@cjgrafixdesign]

What do you call that thing ... the one that look like correction tape but serves as double-sided tape?

[@EvaCupcakes]

Hi there, I would like to know if possible what type of font did you use for the card? Thanks!

[@Jasperelly22]

Your invitations are beautiful

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks lovely. I think so too.

[@TheITColour]

i love this!! It looks absolutly stunning. great work! I can't wait for my wedding next year. :D i will definitly try this out! thank you :*

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks so much ThelTColour. I hope your wedding is awesome and the invitations work for you x

[@jessieclare9639]

Hi! how did you decide on the wording on your RSVP and information cards? can you let me know what yours say :)

[@rcolacino1]

I love these and I am making something very similar for my son’s wedding. We watched your video and we’re very curious to know what your insert cards say. Would you be willing to show close-ups of the cards and the wording on them? Thank you!

[@PlumMashable]

Hi LoveMeSomePaper. If you shoot me a message on Facebook or Instagram I can send you the pictures xx Thanks for watching!

[@xxcrazymaggotchickxx]

I'm looking for the same thing:)

[@paperfolds4023]

it's ok that you love your work I'm the same way when you do a good job

[@PlumMashable]

:) Thanks hun.

[@krystalduran1628]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks Krystal. I loved my invitations so much!

[@papercraftchronicles]

Stunning! I need to hire you I think...lol

[@PlumMashable]

Ha! Yours will still turn out better!

[@sabinebortenschlager5522]

These are sooo gorgeous 😍😍😍!

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks Sabine xx

[@mercyhawke183]

Omg it's so beautiful 💙💙💙

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks Jayde x

[@nilaa584]

Could I use a ribbon to do the pocket instead of cutting paper? I bought card envelope but it’s missing pocket

[@PlumMashable]

I'm sure you could Nila. My best advice is to make one and experiment, and then once you're happy make all the others! Good luck!

[@CallieLudacrisBandit]

Beautiful

[@PlumMashable]

Thank you Kell x

[@lovelypsyche0195]

What do you call that board?

[@PlumMashable]

Which board psy che? The cardboard is Kaisercraft premium cardstock.

[@augustnation8377]

Nice

[@PlumMashable]

Thanks so much!

[@abbyhodgson2188]

How much would you take for 55 Invertations colour light blue xx

[@PlumMashable]

send me a PM on facebook or instagram Abby... we'll see if we can work something out.

[@luzmartinez4073]

How do you get the photoshop program?

[@PlumMashable]

Hey Luz. I get my photoshop through an Adobe Cloud subscription. Thanks for watching!

[@MillyAlexander]

Sure it’s beautiful, but making 200 invitations like this would turn my life to hell xD

[@7707377016]

Milly Alexander lmao right. Ugh

[@PlumMashable]

Oh I completely agree, 200+ would've killed me!

[@Lacorpeno]

Do you have a cutting machine? That would be easier and you can customize it there with the sizes as she mentioned in the video.

[@Katy809RD]

I want to do it only for special invites, about 10. I would stress out just thinking about doing this for everyone

[@dagmarriley2923]

Kathy809RD , what I always suggest to friends, make fancy ones like this for immediate family and very close friends and send Gericht ones or a video invitation (evite) to all others.

Hi Sandra!

[@santodigno]

Man it’s so damn long
