Not many crafty bods around at mo ! I'm afraid I'mno expert on paper types Blush
I'm sure someone will be along soon & talk knowledgably about paper weight & thickness !

You can order all sorts of stuff on line by the way - once you know what you need!
Some on here have used \link{http://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/\this place}
although there are loads more suppliers.

Mulberry paper would not be that good for printing on (its really feathery) - I would suggest some sort of heavier weight paper. Do you want to print on it using a inkjet printer?? If so you would need one that would hold the ink

I think you might need something like \link{http://www.staples.co.uk/ENG/Catalog/cat_skuset.asp?CatIds=1088%2C1268,1289&name=UK%5FSK%5FDECAdry+Parchment+Letterheads%2C+A4\this sort of stuff} or maybe thinner card if you want it to go through a printer.

Esmummy....do you mean paper for the inserts?

If so then try Staples for Conqueror concept/effects. It comes in packs of 50 A4 sheets and has a lovely pearlescent sheen to it which is great for Order of Service, wedding invitations etc.
Available in loads of colours too.

Thats great thanks, I will try staples.
Yes it is for the inserts and being printed on a HP deskjet printer, have got access to a better printer but means I have to get into the office to use it and that will take me 30 mins.
Will go to staples tomorrow and see how it goes.
Thanks again
