Ok I got my invites last night!!!
What is the PROPER order of stuffing?

I mean from top to bottom. What goes on top, what goes under that etc?
Tissue paper goes where?

I feel like a complete a$$

Jen, as long as the invites reach its intended recipient, you do not need to let something as what goes first make you lose your mind....seriously it is not a life or death issue. People will not be worried about what order you put the stuff in, they are more concerned about where they will be sitting and what they will be wearing and how much fun they will be having, no one remembers how your invite was stuffed. Focus on something else for now.

Jenn. I know it sounds confusing, but really your guests will open the envelope and see only your invite b/c everything else settles on the bottom.

From: Invitations By Dawn:

Assembling Invitations

Once you receive your invitations and envelopes, you may wonder how to put them all together. Follow these simple directions for a perfectly assembled ensemble:

Folding Your Invitations
Each invitation description is accompanied by a definition of how the invitation folds.

Arranging the Enclosures
Enclosures should be arranged with reception cards next to the invitation, followed by response cards (tuck the card under the flap of the response envelope) with map cards last.

For vertical or horizontal folders with your wording printed inside, place the enclosure cards inside.

For vertical or horizontal folders with your wording printed on the front, or for invitation cards, place the enclosures in front.

For French-folds, z-folds or tri-folds, enclosures are placed inside the second fold.
Inserting Into Envelopes

Insert invitations into inner envelopes folded edge first (wording or design facing you).

Place inner envelopes in outer envelopes with the front of the inner envelopes facing you.

Tissue paper protects the invitation card wording from smuggling. It goes on top of the invitation itself.
