I don’t know where to begin with CARDS AND POCKETS!
They are amazing they took alot of stress off my shoulders; when I could not find the right color to match for what I wanted I turned to them and they made the color for me. When I was freaking out because I wasn’t a 100% about the color, Bonnie in special projects was my saving grace. She brought me back down and told me she would help me so I could be happy with what I was sending out. I sent her pictures of my color scheme and they came up with so many items it was hard to choose. I used the patterned paper in multiple different areas of my wedding because it was so BEAUTIFUL!!! It would not have been this perfect if it wasn’t for CARDS AND POCKETS!

I really am trying to find something else to incorporate the colored patterned paper into I LOVE IT so much
You would be a fool not to use them for your project!

Thanks!

I would HIGHLY recommend this vendor to anyone! I gave 5 stars only because there are no more stars to give! I decided to take up the task of DIY for my invites because I either 1.) couldn’t find any eggplant colored pocketfolds or cardstock anywhere online or in local stores or 2.) The few invitation companies that I did find that had the perfect color were way too expensive (cost averaged $500 and up for invites alone. I couldn’t see myself spending that much on plain old paper that most people will eventually throw away anyway; however, I didn’t want to compromise on setting on a cheesy generic invite because I felt it really sets the mood for your wedding (although my fiance would beg to differ on this). I stumbled upon Cards&Pockets on theknots DIY boards and couldn’t be happier. Their products are of excellent quality and are reasonably priced; ranging in a large variety of unique colors that are often hard to find elsewhere. They also can also be involved in as much or as little of the assembly of your invites as possible (everything from printing, mounting, assembly, etc). Most importantly they offer prompt and exceptional service. This was my first DIY project and I hit so many bumps along the way before coming across Cards&Pockets and ended up being extremely pressed for time at the very end…Bonnie was very empathetic and extremely in tune with my needs and annoying request. I really couldnt be happier, my invites turned out gorgeous and would use then again and again :-D
