Wilton String of Pearls Pocket Invitation Kit

These invitations are beautiful. A great way for me to send a lot of information about the wedding in a tasteful coordinated way. Template so easy to use, with a good quality printer these look professional for a fraction of the cost. Wedding on a budget doesn't have to look cheap. Very peased

I loved this invitation kit! There was plenty of everything -- the cards all went through my printer just fine and there were no problems with smudging, pages sticking together, or the printer not being able to handle the paper. I really only needed one or 2 of the test sheets - and that was really just to see if I like the font/color on the page. It's good to note though, that there are actually 26 of everything (since they come 2 pages with perforated edges), so if you have an extra one - don't worry that you forgot to stick something inside the invite.I definitely recommend these! Easy to put together, and really nice looking for the price.

Bad quality

I returned. Looks very cheap.

These can look really professional if you are creative with the fonts and design. You can download Word templates on their website. Don't use their app online though. Their font looks crappy plus I doubt it would print correctly. You have more power using Word.I have to admit, I wasn't sure about his kit at first. Their cheesy sample invitation looks boring and not professional. It doesn't do this kit justice. I received an wedding invitation catalog in the mail and basically used those designs to give me ideas on how to design my invitations. Played around with fonts and graphics. My friends and family couldn't believe I printed them myself! They loved them.I was a bit disappointed though that a handful of the folders in my kits were poorly folded. There is a crease where it should be folded and some were not on the line or crooked. So watch out for the quality control. Also on some the silver paint over the pearl border, the paint went outside of the lines. Luckily I found out you can rub off the excess with your finger. Wish I knew that before sealing some of the envelopes!So, I do like these but was disappointed with the quality control. Also was even more bummed when I found out that Joann's Fabrics sells the exact same kit for less ($25 plus I didn't have to pay shipping since I got it from the store).

I printed 150 of the white pearl invitations. They work well but the website is a useless if you plan on anything beyond a block of text. I used Word 2007. Each insert took about an hour to get the layout and margins correct. Once you get it right you can print them out in mass. I used a canon inkjet MP990.Pros:Cost effective and decent qualityThe inserts are all on above average paper (that said, I would have liked to see the envelopes be a higher quality)The cards are perforated but they have a clean tearCons:Bad website. You can not add graphics or have separate titles (i.e. it is very difficult to add "Reply" to the top of the insert)Cards do not include Word templatesThey are only sold in lots of 25The large enclosing paper has to be folded exactly right (I suppose I'm a bad folder) or else the corners on the inserts get bent.I have a strong understanding of page layout and would highly recommend these if: 1) You know Microsoft Word well, or 2) Are using only basic text and no titlesI tested them with only one package and was happy with the result and purchased six more.You will waste at 5% of the cards, consider over buying and returning if need be.

Simple and elegant. Love that it comes with the reception and directions cards so you don't have to buy them separate. If you want an extra flare to them, they're super easy to customize.

Items came fast and they were as described. Quality is awesome although the online template does not give you the sample font that is used on the example cards. It is easier to download the template and use Word to edit. Go to a printing place like Office Depot that charged .10 per page to print and they will make sure it is lined up properly.
