A pocket makes sure nothing gets lost: the announcement, the invitation card and the practical details travel together, tucked into the same paper sleeve.

Not every pocket is filled the same way. The choice mainly depends on how much information you need to share, and on what you are keeping for only some of your guests.
| Format | Size | What it holds | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pocket with two cards | 9.5 x 21 cm | Two rectangular cards that can be tied with a ribbon | Eden, Ambrosia III |
| Folded portrait with tag, pocket and invitation card | 11.5 x 17.5 cm | The folded announcement and an invitation card | Natural elegance |
| Pocket with tag and trio of cards | 13 x 18.5 cm | The announcement and two small free cards | Théodore |
Put the announcement at the front: it is what your guests should see first. The secondary cards follow, from most to least useful: the invitation card for those invited to the meal, then the practical details, such as where to stay, how to get there or the next day's brunch.
A ribbon or a tag closes the set. On several designs, the note ‘to assemble’ means you slip the cards in yourself: build that time into your planning.
A filled pocket weighs more than a single card. Before buying your stamps, have a complete envelope weighed, cards, ribbon and tag included: it is the best way to avoid a surcharge on arrival.
For other ways of grouping several cards, have a look at our folded and luxury invitations too.
Depending on the format, two or three cards: the announcement, an invitation card or small free cards for practical details, such as accommodation or the next day's brunch.
It depends on the final weight. Have a complete envelope weighed before posting to know the right postage.
A pocket with a trio of cards, like Théodore, brings together the announcement and two small free cards: enough to give each piece of information its own card.
