Welcome to our ‘Print My Design’ range! DIY is all the rage and we’re here to help with any aspects of this you may not be able to do at home. Such as printing or supplies of envelopes etc! Choose how many sets of cards you’d like. Each variation must be ordered separately. We are careful to select only the best quality card so that we can create something for you and your guests to hold and cherish forever. If you need any editing or other help with the design, please use one of our regular listings such as our Any Design Pocketfold. If you don’t need a full set of Pocketfold cards, we recommend you use our Print My Design Wedding Invitations listing as they will work out cheaper for you. If you would like to have pocketfolds to go with your cards, please use the Print My Design Pocketfold Wedding Invitation listing.

In order to ensure we are able to print your design, please email us before placing an order so that we can check the file(s). It may not be possible to print block backgrounds in some colours so it’s best we advise on an individual basis.

This listing is for invitations and inserts that fit our range of 5x7” or A5 pocketfolds. You may already have your own pocketfolds in which case, this is the listing for you. Please read the details on the sizing tab to ensure they will fit your pocketfolds as they are not exactly 5x7” or A5.

CAN YOU MAKE CHANGES TO MY DESIGN?
Not when ordering via this listing, no. We will however always check that things line up and fit correctly and let you know if your files need changing. This is a DIY listing where you have done all the editing yourself and provide us with the print-ready file(s). If you require any editing, please use our Any Design listings instead.

FOILING
This listing is not for foiling. Please see separate foiling listings for those or email us for further details.

VARIATIONS EXPLAINED
CARD COLOUR:  Cards can be on a smooth white or ivory 330gsm card or on our range of lightly textured Premium 350gsm Cream card. The premium card is noticeably thicker and adds a luxurious look and feel to your stationery.
Please note that due to mills going into administration or suppliers discontinuing stock, some card types can become unavailable without prior notice. We are always working hard to add replacement card types to our stock when this happens and will let you know if there are any issues with availability at the time of ordering.

DAY OR EVENING: Each variation (different language, day/evening, different timings etc) must be ordered separately and is subject to the minimum order quantity as each one is processed separately. If you need a set of day invites and a set of evening invites for example, please add each of the quantities to your basket separately. Please do not order one set and then provide separate variations of RSVP card/gift message etc.

ORDER TYPE
As this listing is for a set of pocketfold cards, we have excluded the Invite Only option. Please use our separate Print My Design Wedding Invitations if you need the invitation card on its own.

INVITE + 1 CARD: The invitation card plus 1 additional card of your choice, in any 1 of the 3 sizes shown (Size A, B, or C).

INVITE +2 CARDS: The invitation card plus 2 additional cards in 2 of the 3 sizes shown (e.g. A+B; A+C; or B+C).

INVITE +3 CARDS (as in main photograph): The invitation card plus 3 additional cards in the 3 sizes as shown (Invite + 1 each of A, B, and C).

INVITE +4 CARDS: The invitation card plus 4 additional cards in the 3 sizes shown. The 4th card can be either size A, B, or C.

The additional cards come in 3 sizes (4 also possible for large A5 sets): A, B, or C. Please see Sizing for details. You can choose which of those sizes you would like for your additional cards*. For example, if you would like the Invite +1 Card, you can choose whether your additional card is A/Large, B/Medium or C/Small (to fit Small Square RSVP envelopes).
*You may not have more than 2 size A cards in each set. Additional large cards would need to be ordered separately.

Although we will not edit your files in any way, we will choose to draw up proofs for you to check before your order goes to print. If you decide to make a change to the text or design, you will need to provide a new print-ready file. Proofs are only drawn up once per order unless we feel it necessary to draw up a second set with edited files.

CARD SIZES
All cards are sized to fit our pocketfolds. Standard 5x7” cards do NOT fit into 5x7” pocketfolds; A5 cards do NOT fit into A5 pocketfolds. Cards come in 3 sizes: A/Large, B/Medium, or C/Small. Please see Sizing tab for full details and dimensions. If you’d like any other sized cards, you can use our separate Print My Design Wedding Invitations listing or contact us via email.

PRINTING ON BACK OF CARDS
If you would like double-sided cards, you can choose to have printing on the back. The printing can be on any of the cards, regardless of size.

YOUR TEXT & FILES
This is where you can write any notes about your order. You will also need to email us separately with all the files for printing. Files cannot be attached to an order.

PROOFS
Although we will not edit your files in any way, we will draw up proofs for you to check before anything goes to print. If you decide to make a change to the text or design, you will need to provide a new print-ready file.

PROVIDING FILES FOR PRINT
All files need to be sent as png (preferable), pdf, jpeg, or psd Photoshop files. Please just email us if you have a different format so that we can check them. Each one must have a 2mm bleed on all edges. Please refer to the SIZING tab for full details.

Please check out our FAQ if you have any questions not answered here or email us at contact@vintageprints.co.uk.

Measurements are approximate as tiny shifts can occur during the cutting process.

5x7” Pocketfold Card Sizes
Pocketfold Card A/Large: 11.6 x 16.6 cm (+2mm bleed = 12 x 17 cm, same size as invitation)
Pocketfold Card B/Medium: 11.6 x 13.6 cm (+2mm bleed = 12 x 14 cm)
Pocketfold Card C/Small: 11.6 x 10.6 cm (+2mm bleed = 12 x 11 cm)

Note: Pocketfolds are 5x7” when closed, cards are slightly smaller, and envelopes are slightly larger so that they all fit neatly together.

A5 Pocketfold Card Sizes
Pocketfold Card A/Large: 14.2 x 20.4 cm (+2mm bleed = 14.6 x 20.8 cm, same size as invitation)
Pocketfold Card B/Medium: 14.2 x 17.5 cm (+2mm bleed = 14.6 x 17.9 cm)
Pocketfold Card C/Small: 14.2 x 12.9 cm (+2mm bleed = 14.6 x 13.3 cm)

Note: Pocketfolds are A5 when closed, cards are slightly smaller than A5 and envelopes are C5 so that they all fit neatly together.

We can also create 4 different sized inserts for A5 pocketfolds. Please just request this at the time of ordering.

Please ensure all text is well within the dimensions above as we need to be able to trim approximately 2mm (the bleed) off once the cards have been printed. This is particularly important if you have an edge-to-edge design or text too close to the edge as it can get cut off. We will provide proofs to show the finished product so you will be able to check it before approving it for print. You can also specifically request proofs.
