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 turns into its own self-mailer piece by folding up around your invitation and being adhered with a seal sticker.
• Pocket Wrap – This design also has an outer wrap to surround your wedding invitation card and a pocket for holding enclosure cards but is inserted and mailed in a separate 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 whole invitation and actually reveals a portion of it as part of its unique design.  The pocket itself may also have a decorative motif.

Instead of the traditional double envelopes, many times pocket invitations only include a single mailing envelope.  If the inner envelope is eliminated, you will need to list specifically who is invited from that household on the actual mailing envelope.

If the pocket wedding invitation style you choose is larger in size or has extra weight, keep in mind it may require extra postage.  The more insert cards you include, the heavier the weight which could affect the required postage. Also, check the product description for mention of an extra postage possibility.  Just to be sure, it is recommended you take one of your ready-to-mail wedding invitations to the Post Office to officially determine if extra postage is required.

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.
