For couples looking for a modern touch, pocket wedding invitations may be their chosen style.  The benefit of having your invitation insert cards neatly organized is enhanced by their stylish, contemporary appearance. 

Often overlooked are the various styles of pocket wedding invitations available:

  • Translucent Pocket – The wedding invitation is folded to size so the front is slightly visible when it is inserted into the transparent pocket.  Sometimes the pocket will even have a design printed on the front that will gracefully blend with the design showing through from the inserted invitation. To fit the typically smaller pocket size, the invitation cards are most often a z-fold or tri-fold design.
  • Pocket Mailer – This self-mailer style uses the envelopement that holds your invitation card and provides a pocket for holding enclosure pieces as its mailing envelope.  Required customer assembly will involve attaching the card to the envelopment with provided glue dots.  Once assembled the envelopment wraps around your invitation to fold up into its own self-mailing piece adhered with a clear seal.
  • Pocket Wrap – With this design, the pocket is part of the outer wrap that folds up to surround your wedding invitation card before insertion into a mailing envelope.  Depending on the invitation design, the pocket could be located at the bottom or on the side.
  • Side-by-Side Pocket Folder – This stylish folder wrap opens to reveal two equal side-by-side pockets, one for the invitation and the other for insert cards.     

In some styles the jacket or pocket does not cover the entire invitation and actually reveals a portion of it as part of its unique design.  The pocket itself may also have a decorative motif.

Many times pocket invitations will only include the actual mailing envelope versus traditional inner and outer envelopes.  When there is only one mailing envelope, the specific names of invited guests that would normally appear on the inner envelope need to be listed as part of the mailing address.

If the pocket wedding invitation style you choose is larger in size or has extra weight, keep in mind it may require extra postage.  This possibility could be noted within the product description and weight will also increase as more inserts cards are included.  To determine if extra postage is required, you are highly encouraged to take one of your ready-to-mail wedding invitations to the Post Office for an official weight.

As you can see, pocket wedding invitations come in varying designs and styles so you are sure to find the perfect fit for your wedding.
