Brides-to-be can create custom, one-of-a kind, handmade wedding invitations and spend up to$10,000 or choose to do it themselves for as little as $100 to $200 for invitations and reply cards.

There is absolutely no limit to what you can design. Materials that can be used include rice paper, wax seals, metallic papers, couture jewelry, ribbons, colored envelopes, and all of these can be incorporated with pocketfolders. Pocketfold invitations can often be use to create any custom made invitation of your choice or design.

A lot of custom wedding stationery pieces are designed with a �one-of-a-kind� mentality and would include framing or boxing-in the wedding invitation, using glass and padded envelopes for a save-the-date announcement, crystal boxes for wedding favors and even for the technologically savvy, a DVD invitation showing a 15 minute storyline about the bride and groom�s journey to their special day. Some of the most a beautiful custom wedding invitations are simple but incorporate the colours, a customized monogram and custom fonts that are carried throughout the stationery used for the event. Another option is to ask your designer to find or create a graphic or motif that can also be used on the invitation either as a watermark or right on the front of the invitations. This graphic can be used on the programs, place cards and menus.

Along with paper colors and graphics, the shape and styles of the invitations are also easily customizable. Handmade designers can use square styles, round shapes, embellished or embossed papers or a layering look all inter-designed with unlimited choices for ribbon colors.

The vast selection and limitless upgrades are typical of the wedding industry. Brides have tougher choices to make but more selection. The days of home printed half size page invitations are long gone. Your wedding invitation is the single most important element that successfully or unsuccessfully sets the tone for your wedding day.
