How many types of pocketfolds are there?!??!!?

now that the favor situation has been settled, i find myself hemming and hawing over the invitations...and i keep coming back to the same thing, a pocketfold invitation. after much research, in order to create or get the fabulous paper confection i have in my head, it will either cost me a whole lotta money that i will no way in the world be able to afford, or i DIY it...i'm a self proclaimed DIY dummy, but in the name of wedding stationary perfection, i will brave these waters again (i mean i did manage the engagment invitations unscathed, the wedding invites might not be so bad)

but what many may or may not realize is that, there are a lot of different kinds of pocketfolds out there...so which one do i want to go with?

lets look at the options first shall we?

the ever popular gate fold:

usually i think of these babies when i think of pocketfolds, a flap will overlap the folder thus totally enclosing the whole invitation in, sealed off with a bellyband/ribbon, LOVE IT

then we have the single fold, which is what i like to think of as the slightly less elaborate step sibling to the gate fold:
honestly i kinda like this one, it's not as "formal" as the gate fold and should be easier to assemble and manipulate for the DIY-ers, plainly put it is a folder that folds closed with one fold...

next is the bloom fold:

this is pretty self explanatory, four flaps come closed together (think closing off a cardboard box by folding the flaps into each other) to form what should look like a bloom (to me it looks more like a pinwheel actually...), this is kinda what i would like to think of as the creative cousin to the traditional gate fold...artsy fun and probably more complicated than i'd like to ponder for someone of my DIY dumminess can handle.

and lastly i'd like to show you the jacket:

very simply, an open top envelope that will hold all that your invitation is...the more i think of this, the more i like it...to me this would probably be an easier DIY project than attempting any of the three i've mentioned above...but like many brides that covet pocketfold invitations, i'm still slightly more partial to the gate fold or the single fold...

i have a pretty good idea which one i will go with, but stay tuned to find out where this invitation odyssey will take me...in the meanwhile, which pocketfold do YOU covet?
